a crystal beach
of snow-white sand
and turquoise sea
so, within my reach
a violet starfish in my hand
til the day you ran

I thought you were
an azure sky
of marmalade dancing butterflies
till the day you lied

I thought you were
a lullaby
soft on the eyes
lulling me in reverie
on feathered twilight wings
how could I tell
the heartache you’d bring

I thought you were
the golden sun
a blooming garden
I was young
but as I leaned in for a kiss
darkness fell like an eclipse
