"You gave me a love of gold

I saw it shine I wore it with pride 

People called it fool's gold 

but i knew i wasn't a fool (I wish i did) 

You gave me a crown, it was gold plated. 

How was I supposed to know? 

That it will chip off 

That it will fade off 

I thought gold was forever... 

The crown was up my head, 

I never removed it 

or looked up 

so I never saw it fading 

or rotting like our so called love. 

Now its not crown 

a mask I wear

that of a clown"
