between shells
in an oyster
hidden from the world
held firmly
i left
a teardrop

buried in the ocean
of heartbreaks
caressed by the rain
falling in memory off
a lost treasure

a cold lonely stare
looks for direction
held in the shell
of my heart
inlaid
to rest
mother of pearl

holding you so deep
in darkened skies
who brought the thunder
in roaring aches
lightning strikes
falling in pain

in a sun kissed mist
a treasured rainbow
looking at the pot of gold
i open the treasure chest
one more time

i open the shell
leaving the teardrop
upon your pillow
happy to love
dreaming forever
in you
a treasure
