my tears glisten like pearls

When you said forever,
you meant a few days.
When i said forever,
i meant i'd NEVER go away.
when you held me tight and promised me love,
in my wrist i carved a dove.
When you left me for that other girl,
my tears glistened like pearls.
There will always be a special place for you in my heart,
Just remember this,
because i dread the day when i say
Till death do us part.
