Diamond from Wishing Well by Beverly Kills

baby blue eyes
behind the counter
ten years that just went by
in the shadow
along the concrete
in the twinkling of an eye

dog years are
what dreams are made of
a place no one could say
when he offered you a diamond
you took the leap
to get away

prosperity and abundance
promised silver and gold
it will be just like in the movies
you’ll be rewarded

and you’ll hear yourself saying
sanguine in your belief
it’s really not that shocking
that this could happen to me

and so they came in the morning
on your doorstep it all came down
a cup of coffee on the table
he’s nowhere to be found

no roses on the pavement
no roses in the snow
now you know
not all that glitters
is gold
