Precious Pearl

Dear precious pearl,
I hope that at some point, some time
You’ll finally realise
Realise that it wasn’t you;
That it was him at fault all along
That you fell for a fool
A child, a boy
A boy unworthy of you
Incapable of cherishing you,
Loving you,
One incapable of being a man
So do yourself a favour
And wake up
Get yourself out of bed,
Glance into the mirror,
Look right into your eyes
And state how worthy you truly are
My precious pearl.
