glitter

 
escaping into the noise
I shut down all internal static
listening to your soul I believe in love
brokenness of heart is a risk

I'm taking a chance with you
forfeiting my pride I put aside
a gentle woman with belief in you

discover what is beautiful
take a chance I could be her
amidst all of the thistles
a bare poppy singing to your need

escalating in my feelings for you
within my deep hollow spaces
an emptiness overflowing with compassion
loneliness has made my heart soft

your intellect is sharp
I pray you'll take a moment to see if we match
a little push-pull are you up for a debate
or is straight to sack

then see you later little girl
my fascination with you is your cold exterior
with an intriguing intelligence

spare me the cutting edge
I've deflected that way a lot
sarcastic when you don't feel comfortable
in the mix is our desire

I feel your heady soul peering into mine
wondering what you see
I open a little more to give you a good look

spying an immortal taking sanctuary here
with no expectations
my glitter attracts
but if you're too rough

my shine will rub off on your hands
and I'll fly away a little sad
I've been wrong before
