Fool's Gold

Fool's Gold - 15 November 2016 Fool’s gold is all glitter and shiny, But leaves your hands empty and slimy. The best way to describe you And your character so untrue. I had you in my arms; So sure you’d keep me from harm. But instead you brought it to my door, Leaving my heart broken on the floor. You seemed so wise and kind; Turns out I had been blind. The flatter and flirting was never for me, But I was too love-starved to see. I thought you were my prince Charming, And fell for you without warning. There are no more tears on my face; I am now merely an empty space.
