Grounded

Frustration weaves through into my mind making it hard to notice anything except the obvious flaw in the tapestry, where are you? I rip my masterpieces into shreds, what is this coming to? Our perfect, radiant, sparkling burst of love was blinded by a light brighter than all our feelings put together They say true love comes easy and runs deep, but what about when it decides to leave? Your love came into my life in the blink of an eye, but left an eternal stain on my once pure heart You extracted everything that is me out of me And now display it on a shelf in your mind only you can admire How vain do you think you could be if you tried? But yet, my heart yearns for your touch of envy I think you tear me down Take that part of me to build yourself up with my perfection Only when you’re fathoms above me do you feel satisfaction Only when you decide to peel back the layers and dissect my inner most thoughts will you see what I mean
