Hopes and dreams set ablaze
Feet treading down a path the mind fears
Thoughts cursed with images of the one the heart yearns
And memories that refuse to let bygones be bygones
Still remembering that perfect smile
That first opened an account in my heart
Depositing in currency worth more than gold
And yielding a feeling so priceless
I tasted wealth though centless
But along came a shooting star
And she chased it
Willing to to trade a heart of gold for a gold chain
She left me to lead the good life
While robbing me at both chests
The one that had my heart, and the one that had my money
Clever imagery - I have never seen the heart represented like this before. I like it.
