Chased Glitter
This isn’t make believe
Where you get to act in movie scenes
It’s real life to me
Seems like you’re programmed to leave
You’ve been nothing but a struggle
You make it hard for me purposely
Stand back and let me float away
Let go of me so you can flea
I miss being loved endlessly
By the kind of man who needs me
You just play games
And dangle the key
Disconnected team alliance
Our flags wave different ways
Sets fire to her defiance
Nods your right, but her heart is a blaze
Suffocating from swallowing fights
Kill the noise that fills her head
Jumping safety to fall from new heights
Burning from things you said
Wounded from wondering
You’re different in the wrong ways
Storm made it’s way thundering
Maybe after all, you are just a phase
Dig deep for the soul you stole
She was broken before
But you had to keep poking holes
Now she’s no more than a chore
Needed to lose a little sanity
To find that the salt mines don’t sting that bad
Curse that damn chemistry
Now drink the gasoline like a nomad
