Tarnished Pearls - Copyright (C) 04/14/09 by Dan Sharpe.
I painted you in Heaven's light,
with words of loving colours, bright.
until you faded in the night,
lost, forever, from my sight.
And so, diminished, by your loss,
and tarnished, by your words so cross,
my heart of gold soon turned to dross,
it's rarest, finest, treasure, lost.
