Silver & Gold

So many
Words
Wasted
Since you
Felt you had to
Go
And be done
With her heart
Of silver and gold
Now you will
Never know
What could have been
Or what she will show
You’re naive
To leave
If that is so
You could
Have been
So close
To a pretty girl

Lurking Angel

“I can’t love you”
All the scared men say
As they walk away
They never notice
Just how beautiful
She is
Even when
She cries
Or paints
They just
Flat out
Say
“I’m done”
And make her
Feel
Like she
Isn’t good enough
When all she needs
Is that trust
That stays golden
Instead of turning
To rust
If you only
Saw the passion
In her eyes and heart
You’d never
Want to be
Apart from her
But what good
Is outer beauty
To a human
If he is too naive
To see
What’s on the inside
The angel
That lurks there
Waiting
For her
Precious heart
To repair
