Fool's Gold

When you're love was wrapped in golden chains,

Nothing there really remains,

Because the ocean that was there,

Has vanished, disappeared,


Like a picked flower in a round vase,

It's pretty but soon erased,

For was it love or was it lust?

Each other, did you trust?


That band you said would always be there,

The burden of vows you bare,

Broken love or perhaps: un-love,

A raven, not a dove!


Gold, gold, gold, gold,

But it's just so perishable,

Shine, shine, shine, shine,

When you don't make it cherishable,

There's nothing else to be told,

When you're holding fool's gold.
