Fool's Gold

Gave her my time, My dime, my mind. Thought I struck

diamond. Just glitter, no shine. Her smile split

the dark. Like a cheap neon sign. Her words turned cold,

froze solid, frostbite. Said she needed help. I gave her

my hand. Tried to build solid, watched it slip through my hands.

I raised the ladder, she climbed up high. Snapped the rungs,

fucking left me behind. Fool's gold, heavy and cold. No treasure here,

just do what you're told. Fool's gold, I played the role.
