Broken Pearls

Time passed by
Were you walking with me?
Left over’s of yesterdays gone
Stored memories put away
Closed curtains steal the moonlights shine
I masquerading in leather, lace and
Pearls

I became something I thought you wanted
Though it was just your disguise
In broken promises
Static phone calls
Please I tell my audience
Learn my lesson well

I say,
It’s not us really…
It’s their game
Cat
Mouse
Superman’s cape
I sat on his lap
Yes
Blindfolded
Love is blind after all

Trust
I always knew it was my biggest mistake….
So I lay here now in dead silence
Ripping pearls
Ripping lace
It was never me anyway….
I was not leather
Or number one in your book
I walk away

I laugh
At the tears I spent on so many pages
Why?
Healing in what?
Time…..
Your letters caused a blaze
Made for good fire wood
Yesterday begins to mold
Oh Dear….
Maybe it was just the pearls after all…..
