GEM by Camille Ellyce Bordelon

I’ve been thinking about gardenias I’ve been drinking Cabernet Wondering how we ended up like We find ourselves today I love you gem You’re a diamond in the rough If looks could kill You would leave me in the dust Remember when I was the only girl You trusted Exposed my blackened heart And now I stand here busted My precious gem You’re a treasure among fakes Won’t you forgive me For all of my mistakes I wanted you to be So proud of me Instead you burned the bridge And said you never loved me My darling gem When I saw you in the rain Knew you were him A romantic, yet insane I sit alone in the bar Where you left me Chain smoking cigarettes While nursing a kamikaze Eloquent gem As the bar room starts to close At 2 A.M. Not the ending that we chose I look for you In a sea of drunken faces Gripping tightly to a glass That bares my lip stick traces I love ya gem When I say it my heart breaks I’m going out on a limb Although too high were the stakes I sit alone blues playing A familiar solo Tear drops slipping down In my bitter espresso I love ya gem When I say it my heart breaks Going out on a limb Although too high were the stakes I sit alone blues playing A familiar solo Tear drops slipping down In my bitter espresso
