shine

you are quite the beauty,
the wonder i'll always have,
the flower i wear in my hair,
the pearl around my neck,
that they ask how i could be
so decrepit beside you,
when i make you beautiful,
outside of me like dew-drops
wasted on a girl's face,
when he could have used tears
to make her stay, but love
has flown out the distance,
the mind has gone to in ways
the heart can never be with,
i remember the feeling;
so i push on and walk alone,
without treading on glass-eyes,
that shape rainbows out of me
