What god awful radiance you exude
That dazzling glimmer you drip so casually
Your smile of diamonds threw rainbow shards on my heart
How infectious it was at first,
That I became brilliant for a moment too
Even the sparkle in your smile caught my eye
As you said you loved me for the first time
But lo, whenever came just as you said it would
Did you know??
And I suppose now I see that you are not a bright, shiny gem like I thought
You are but a mirror, a false facet in the stone,
Intended only to reflect the light of another
And when their light dulls,
A more brilliant one you seek out
