I don't believe Frost
When he said
"Nothing Gold can Stay."

And maybe it's because
I'm not looking for Gold.

Because I don't need it,
No,
I need the red and orange sunset.
I need the blue and green seafoam.

And if nothing Gold can stay,
Then I guess I'm heading out.

I've watched pain and guilt
Cloud your colors.
And though I've never seen
Anger overtake your features,
I'm sure my fear
Will subdue it
When I flinch away.

And maybe people don't understand,
I'm a walking lie detector.

You can't fool me,
So please don't try.

I've seen the gold of your heart,
And I know it stays,
Day by day.

Sometimes gold can stay,
Believe me when
I say
I will never
Turn away.
