She seemed like an angel, pure and bright,

Asked her out, her answer, a delight

Our love, once tender, now turned to ash,

For her, I'd surrender all, a foolish dash

Gifts of gold and diamonds, her every whim,

But her heart, it seems, belongs to him

To make her smile was my sole decree,

Blinded by love, I failed to see

With flowers in hand, I glimpse a betrayal,

Another man's gaze, a harsh portrayal

Dollars poured, yet she craved for more,

Comfortable with him, my heart tore

A friend's voice, a painful revelation,

"She's a gold digger," the cruel sensation

As rain falls, washing away my dreams,

Left soaked and broken, nothing as it seems
