Gold Filigree
I’ve traveled the world,
 All the seven seas.
 I’ve touched what most would kill
 To even see. 
 
 I bathe in baths
 Filigreed with gold. 
 Wallet packed with cold cash.
 Bank statements never fold. 
 
 My head is filled with fear,
 As my purse is filled with coins.
 Fear that the diamonds on my ears
 Will one day grow old. 
 
 That one day I’ll be poor
 Just like the rest of you.
 That my ruby red lips
 Will turned chapped and blue.
 
 Yet I’m not happy now
 Never have been really.
 Still waiting for those stones
 To satisfy me. 
 
 Cause what I want is a family 
 Real friends, real joy.
 And I fear that without my jewelry
 They’ll all grow bored,
 And leave my heart grow
 To be empty and cold.
