all that glitters ain't gold

All that glitters ain't gold
Just cause I sparkle doesn't mean
You should be sold
In the beginning I'm shiny and new
But after it begins to wear off
My true colors shine through
The mask comes off
My smile becomes a frown
And the bitterness
Consumes your soul
All that glitters ain't gold
I'm now no longer new
Just old
Consumed your youth
Your dreams
Your hopes
Love you once knew
I am the grim reaper
Here to steal
Your soul
So live everyday
As if it's your last
Cause when I come
Knocking at your door
There will be only one thing
I'll take hold
Nothing you can say
Will change my mind
Or cause me to look the other way
For I am the Grim Reaper
Here to steal your soul

Stained Tears

Tears stained her pillow
She couldn't feel the pain anymore
But yet when she thought of him
Her anger was no longer her issue
She knew he was the root
Of all her pain
But she refused to give him claim
She refused to allow him to think
He had the power to
Prevent her from living
She couldn't give him the
Satisfaction
Of conquering her soul
She's moved on
Found a new lover
One who saw past his pain
Saw her for whom she was
Nothing more
Nothing less
Tears stained her pillow
Nor longer tears of sorrow
Alas tears of joy
