I asked you if you would give me
a soft, rare stone
...one that I could
share with you as long as
we're together~
You went right out
shopping with your best
friend that day
and I was so tickled;
I didn't know how to
respond; didn't quite know
just what to say...
You told your boy ya' needed
to find something RARE ~
some rare gems that would make
your lady smile wide and
her frowns disappear ~
At the jewelry counter you spoke with
a knowledgeable gemologist-
...that man absolutely worked your brain...
tossin' up names of stones that you
weren't familiar with--
the man was speaking in vain
but you, playin' it smoothe, just
as you are...
told the man to bring out the good ****
so you could look at them hard~
...He showed you the
ALLANITE, ALEXANDRIA, AMBLYGONITE, AMETHYST,
ANDRITE, and the one called the "cat's eye" - APATITE
moving past those you picked up the
BARITE, BRAZILLANITE, BUSTAMINE and CALCITE -
but those would't do either
kept looking cause you told your friend,
"man, I've got to find something to please her"
DEMANTOID, DIAMOND, DIASPORE
and even a DOLOMITE~~ (say what!)
keep it coming, you said,
I'm sure I'll find something
here pretty quick, ~ onto EMERALD, EUCLASE, and EUDIALYTE
next came FRIEDELITE, GARNET, GROSSULAR,
HACKMANITE and HAUYNE
then you got frustrated
cause now the processing was taking
entirely too long ~
returning home to me with
a disappointed look on your
face --
I smiled at you
and whispered in your ear,
sorry you went through so much trouble, but
those were not the rare stones I was referring
to my dear ~
I simply meant your HEART...
that cold stone beneath your chest
the one your ex-girlfriend stole
when she hurt you and left-
...................I only want your heart!
