All That Glitters
Oh chandelier
Forgive men like me
For your plea for trust;
We have dismissed
You promise of love
We have pooh-poohed
These scars on our faces are reminders
We are victims
These scars can attest;
No! We dare not forget
The pangs;
The dark side of you;
How you detached
And took a chunk out of our loyal faces;
Men who pitched the tents under you
Hypnotized by your beauty
We have not forgotten
The pains of yesteryears
The cracks in our delicate hearts echoes
Let our children hear
For we have been fooled by your beauty;
Let them be wary of you
Let them learn from our mistakes.
