I Don't Think So

• Artist: Khristallyn
• Description: A poem I wrote on the idea that "nothing gold can stay", and despite what the title would lead you to believe, I agree with this statement.
  
  The second stanza goes off on a bit of a tangent, it gets wrapped up at the end. I'm happy with this one, I suppose.

If nothing gold can stay,
Then all of us are golden.
The worst shine beautiful
(We treasure the criminal
While the faithful are scorned)

Our golden hearts melt
Slowly with the innocence destroyed by
Our leaden grins as the TV,
Blaring another murder,
Leads you to say, “At least it wasn’t us,”
But I know one day you’ll be just as dead
And, sooner, just as dead to me
For I’ve known you for awhile
And you’re more golden than the rest.
Nothing gold can stay.

No, I don’t think so.
