Crystal

"CRYSTAL"
The beauty I am came at a large cost.
Sadness fills my heart for the love I lost.

The tattoo on my face is a mark of his love.
His love disappeared from me on wings of a dove.

This beautiful ring he placed it on my finger.
Said his love for me would never linger.

As he looked at me and walked away.
My heart was broken from that very day.

I sit her all alone with nothing to share.
There's no one to love me and no one to care.
                   Teresa Skyles
