¨good things fall apart, so better things can fall together¨


You were golden

Catching my eye from the start

You obtained a display of pureness

You stood beside me,

You cared about me,

You valued me,

You even loved me.. I thought

But, reality hit

The performance was over

You became my immense breathing nightmare

No mistake,

You recognized what you were executing

Your true colors finally set free

That wanting glimmer in your eyes

Was only ever a reflection of mine

Turns out, I fell for

Fools gold.


The author's comments:

My inspiration to write this piece was from a hard relationship i went through with an ex-boyfriend. I learned that people can only put on a performance for so long until their true colors come out.  I feel like everybody has some sort of experience or connection with this in life, whether it would be with a family member, a friend, a coworker, a boyfriend/girlfriend.
