Glass Obelisk

The sinister looking glass obelisk,
Appeared strong but knows that glass is weak.
During all of the raucous commotion,
Through all of the vivid talks of liars and lovers that unforgettable California summer motion.
Mingled hearts two blossomed from ones.
In front of the roseate and coquelicot sunset where the milky black waves run,
Between all their love and passion and greed,
Came with threats and names, like a nose bleed.
Never knowing,
Always unexpecting.
Little does she know, he has her little pinkie wrapped around his,
Life will crumble upon like this.
They had once been two hearts beating in tandem,
Now he was left high up, with pride and victory,
Never once thought about giving up his glory.
