Black Pearl

The black pearl
The sinful jewel
The crown desired by most
Watch him walk 
Marvel at the power he wields

He wears his confidence with blazing glory
You just can't help but shy away
Beauty only skin deep;
What's beneath, the mystery, is what's lusted over

Close enough to touch
But always so far away that you fall chasing him
This rare prize will drive you insane

This golden speck
You will chase
This broken diamond 
You will fantasize over
This black pearl
You will never have
