You were so beautiful, Like a marble statue Behind millions of dollars of security. But now your insecurity Has defiled your purity; The glossy perfection Turned rotten At your crystal lips of limestone; You flawless face, now Fouled by fatality; And worst of all: Your once sweet words Are now rancid with Distaste of me, And it simply destroys The beauty I see in you, A beauty greater than Any Greek statue Carved eons ago. You don’t see that your ego Sped up time’s flow, Faded your glow. You’re rubble, my friend, You’re nothing but old. My fires of love Are suddenly cold.

Galatea No More
You were so beautiful, Like a marble statue Behind millions of dollars of security. But now your insecurity Has defiled your purity; The glossy perfection Turned rotten At your crystal lips of limestone; You flawless face, now Fouled by fatality; And worst of all: Your once sweet words Are now rancid with Distaste of me, And it simply destroys The beauty I see in you, A beauty greater than Any Greek statue Carved eons ago. You don’t see that your ego Sped up time’s flow, Faded your glow. You’re rubble, my friend, You’re nothing but old. My fires of love Are suddenly cold.
Don't know what I saw in you.
