She’s blinded by the sirens call …..she was sifting around in the dirt.
She lost what was precious, and that was your heart
Now she lay’s restless clinging to something empty.. fools gold leaves you deprived in emotional 
poverty 
You shone in my palm brighter than two colliding galaxies
My Hope Diamond..  you left an afterglow on my cheeks
Why
Must you apologize
 For the hero that you are
That’s like spitting on the canvas of Monet Waterlillies priceless art
You wear shame like a onesie
It clings to you, pulls your body language inwards
Like
A blossoming tree in the rain forest that stays hidden in the dark.
She’s blinded by the sirens call …..she was sifting around in the dirt.
Lift your weary legs, and put your trust in the universe
I can no longer watch you hurt.
