Material Things Can Not Replace Love

There are certain things you see That are bright and glittery Shiny, fancy and enticing But they are not free, the pricing Of these items is to high They are not the reason why You are put upon this earth The price you pay is never worth The way they look, feel, or glow Soon you will feel hollow With nobody by your side When the love inside you died s you become more greedy Materialistic and so needy For items to collect and wear No feelings anywhere Your heart is a lonely pit Little by little, bit by bit Everyone who used to care Can not be found anywhere As your heart could only feel Love for things that are not real In boxes, on shelves, in drawers Replacing loving friends, now your Surrounded all around By a creepy eerie sound Of silence making you see How lonely your world can be No soft words or caring ways From someone to love each day
