The Little Jewel

So you thought I was in love with you
I don’t know what to say
You knew I’d be here waiting
I must say you’re out of place
There’s nothing left to wish for
I waited my youth away
Crying at your door
While you went out to play

My love grew wings
As you bestowed me with your gaze
My heart screamed
Knowing you wouldn’t stay
Nothing mattered including me
You had your reasons and your ways
You’re thinking you live in my dreams
I’m thinking the jewel left the safe

There’s no sweet return
To bitter give and chase
What little held me there
Will not un-break the cage
I won’t lie
I was captive to your stares
But I was blind
Life is more than how I cared

Pay no heed to the little jewel
Left in the safe to collect dust
You’ll never see that little girl
I see you trying to no luck
With a little care and warmth
The little jewel would’ve shined
Now my world has no heart
To ignite those lonely eyes

Don’t pine for new starts
There’s nothing to share
Don’t look for my heart
You’ll never go there
It’s hidden safely from view
And won’t shine softly off guard
Once wishing to be your moon
We’ve drifted galaxies apart

To rescue the past
Melt the wall of ice
To hold in your hand
The little jewel you sliced
Is like a thief out to steal
What belongs to no one
Protection’s all I feel
The gates will never open
You stand here in the rain
With that look in your eyes
I must say you’re out of place
I will never cry
