staring glassy eyed at those bright storefronts
a moth in a sea of lanterns
dear darling, when will you ever learn?
the world is an ocean threatening to suck you in
the whirlpools of despair spinning you round
undercurrents of hate and worthlessness dragging you to the depths of your own personal hell
the lights reflecting off your crystallized smile
shattered so beautifully by a single ray of reality
each fragment a piece of the soul you kept so willingly on your sleeve
dear darling, can’t you see?
this cotton candy world will dissolve with just the smallest drop
Clutching the bags of things you didn’t remember buying
but that doesn’t even matter, at this point
now you’re just picking up the pieces.
