I Dare You

Why do you get angry enough to Slam your bottle down but never Angry enough to shatter it? I know about shattering What am I but a piece of glass Too stubborn to be smoothed by the sea Not enough luck to get thrown away You smile without moving your lips Raise the bar I beg you You make it to easy to win Take me for granted, sure Treat girls, boys like Trading cards and tell me to leave but Don’t mean it You Slim the moonlight through your teeth Skim the salt from the waves I am your ghost darling Your shadow Tracing your steps, Watch out for broken vengeance of Past lovers, The monsters aren’t under your bed They’re sleeping on it.
