She saw the sunrise in the facets of his aqua eyes
He gave heat to the sun and heaven to the skies
blinded by his beauty that was surely purest gold
he warmed her world that was arid dark and cold
A brilliant rare jewel she had found him at last
Every thought of herself she put into the past
She would pay any price to make him her own
And become a slave to the king of her throne
Fulfilling his whims became her purpose in life
Not once did she falter in this fruitless strife
And he made sure to let known his every wish
She gave him everything on an ornate silver dish
He held her to his service with no promises made
The image of the jewel began to tarnish and fade
Until she changed thoughts of owning this prize
she no longer saw the light that shone in his eyes
His gold had tarnished and the stone only paste
She thought of time lost that seemed such a waste
The center was flawed and the setting was poor
The fire in zirconium eyes was just a baited lure
Skill of a craftsman catches the next one’s eye
What seems to be genuine can become just a lie
He will display his charms as soon as she is gone
A flash of fools gold and a false heart of stone
