Break up.

In the shadows of our love,

A secret grew, A tale of wealth,

where loyalty withdrew.

She found solace in the glittering gold,

Leaving behind the warmth we used to hold

The moment we spent together.

Her pockets deep,

her promises grand,

She traded our dreams for a richer land.

The sparkle of diamonds,

the lure of the new,

Blinded her eyes to the love that was true

I watched in silence,

heart heavy with pain,

As she walked away,

leaving love in disdain.

For money can buy many things,

It’s true,

But it can’t mend a heart that’s broken in two.

So here I stand,

with lessons learned,

Love can’t be bought,

it’s something earned.

And though she chose the wealth over me,

I find my strength in what love should be

The hope to find true love although rare.
