Fleeting
Good things are lovely and safe
As life often is
They come here and there
Leaving a trail of breadcrumbs
On the road to happiness
Pretty things are well and good
A sky of stars
A shimmering golden sun
They welcome us with open arms
Shielding us from the world’s pain
Things
Aren’t
Always
How
They
Seem…
Good things are frail and fleeting
As life often is
They come and they go
But never pay any mind
To the trail of wreckage they leave behind
Broken people stumbling in the dark
Following a path that never was
Pretty things are not always good
A golden knife
A shimmering scarlet rain
They invite us in
Entice us with gold
Until we no longer know
What it means to say no
All these things
Though good at a glance
Can often mislead us
In a cruel, cruel dance
