glitter

my frail frame touches you, I want to know you're there

I want to see your innocence, I want to breathe your air

I want to hear you tell me all the things you think I am

and when I disagree you can utter them again

the wind blows the clothes off the skin I wish I loved

you kiss all the flaws, then you dress my body up

I wish that you saw yourself through a lens that wasn't filtered

I let go of myself, just to drown inside your glitter

(oh no)

push the red curtains from my face

I want to watch your pupils dilate between every word I say

I sit patiently with cowardice, observe you from afar

I wish that you knew I wish that I was half of what you are

the wind blows the clothes off the skin I wish I loved

you kiss all the flaws, then you dress my body up

I wish that you saw yourself through a lens that wasn't filtered

I let go of myself, just to drown inside your glitter

(oh no)

(oh no)
