Jewelry Box

The pearls in your mouth

That fell to the floor

The diamonds in your eyes

That don’t even fall anymore

 

Your his jewelry box

Isn’t that what he said

But all his other words and pain

It’s all left in your head

Your his jewelry box

 

The rubies from under your fingernails

The sapphires that come out when he comes in

I can’t understand your pain

Or why you wear the jeweled crown of being his

 

Your his jewelry box

Isn’t that what he said

But all his other words and pain

It’s all left in your head

Your his jewelry box
