Glitter


What we had was like a handful of glitter
Beautiful, but chaotic and messy, so full of anger
Toss it up in the air watch it fall apart
Blow it away as far away from your heart
As you can, because the most beautiful things will destroy you
Roses will prick you wit their thorns, and women will pretend to know you
To love you, to understand your sacrifice, but all they want is your attention
And they’ll do and say anything to keep your affection
But she is glitter. Deceivingly beautiful, but will cover up the glue underneath holding her together
And all you see is a perfect disguise of everything she never wanted you to see; it’s clever
The way she hides behind her ruse
Never stopping to think that her flaws could be beautiful too
The person beneath the skin; the glue
That nobody else will dare dig deep enough to see
The crying, the traits that nobody asks for, but you dare to try
To see them for who they are, and you hold them when they cry
You tell them they’re still beautiful, wipe a tear from her eye
Would anyone else have stuck around?
To hold you, to see the worst of you, and stuck around
As you hung them up to dry and put them through the ringer
Slowly twisting them, wrapping them around your finger
Cutting them loose, watching them fall
Pulling the rug out from under them, making them feel two feet tall
Would anyone else have stayed? Ask yourself would they have left you?
When I say you’ve changed its because this girl that I knew
Who was all of these things that I believed in is gone
And now she’s turned into so many others that have already been done
Unoriginal and tired girls that just want attention from every guy
Every guy who’s attention you could never buy
That never cared, never stayed up until 3
Just because they thought “she might need me”
No, I did all of these things, taken for granted and walked away
Hurt, heart broken, used, I was made a fool of in every way
Yes, you are like glitter, beautiful, but no longer whole
Pieces of who you used to be have been dusted off and though you’ve been told
By the person who stood by you no matter what, you won’t listen
But like glitter, you really do glisten
Beautiful.. but the most wonderful parts of you are missin.

All my life.

I could write a million words I could bring the ink To this paper I could type until my fingers bleed But nothing will say what you mean to me And I have written about other girls Before But none have stirred my soul like you do None have made me want to dance And sing And play like a child And recklessly desperately try so hard to be near you I can hear you in my dreams Telling me you want me Whispering Humming In my ear A thousand times I've dreamt of what it would be like To be yours I've let hours waste away Thinking about your hands in my hair Twisting curls around your fingers Getting lost in the oceans in my eyes The music in your voice is a reprise I could listen to all my life.

"Big Skinny"

You stole my heart with a smile, and you broke it with a trigger pull You seemed so put together, but you really had your hands full Never feeling good enough, never living up to expectations You thought that you were failing, when all you needed was some patience And I wish that I had had that talk with you, where we share our secrets Instead of them weighing down on you, you could trust me to keep it You ask me where my scars are from, and I ask you why you want to leave Why you’re tired of being here with us, why your heart is on your sleeve You gave so much to us and maybe you took too much from yourself You, ever longing to fulfill a purpose greater than yourself I wish that there had been a better solution for you other than waiting Waiting for something better to happen, instead of looking to John 3:16 If it was eternal life you desired, then eternal life you shall get For you are the closest to any angel that I have ever met And I miss yo...

Crows feet.

I hope I give you crows feet From smiling Too often I hope that when our eyes meet Your knees go weak And your body grows heavy Because you mesmerize me The way you talk The way you walk The way you brush my body When you stand beside me To let me know you want to touch me The way you smile at me subtly In a room full of people I am the one That you look at like that And every time you turn your back I will follow I will swallow All my fear Just to be near You and your heart beating Because it feels like I’m cheating Fate If I don’t give in to the way You move me And I don’t even know if destiny Is real but I know this feeling is And it’s just too strong to dismiss
