All That Glitters Is Not Gold

I watched you

Holding court

In the place
Where she should have been

Smug
Broad smile 
The confident shell
(hiding deceit and theft and and)

I watched you

My smile thin and wan

Forced

Dredging up forgiveness to accompany it from my tired worn out soul

I watched you

You got the brass ring
You did
(Not gold mind you)

Brassy

Plundered

Ill gotten gain

I watched you and wondered

How long Oh Lord how long

Will the guilty go unpunished

How long

I forgive
I forgive
I forgive
I forgive
I forgive
I forgive

I forgive
