She Told Me

She told me she loved me
She told me I was her world 
She told me the earth was flat 

She told me our future was paved with gold
She told me our love shone like diamonds in the sky 
She told me all about  El dorado 

She told me our love would burn for ever
She told me it was an ever burning flame
She told me she had seen  a phoenix fly 

She told me I was her shining light
She told me I was her knight in armour
She told me all about Camelot

She told me she would sing for me
She told me the words would mean a lot
She  turned out to be a mermaid and left me on the rocks


I told her I loved her, Mine was real but hers was not.
