My love is like glitter
it's either beautiful or messy

I’m sorry
for what I said
when I thought I was in love
with you

I got caught up in the moment
cause I haven't been the same since
I finally felt content
not thinking about mistakes

'I love you'
really meant
this moment
- But how could you have known?

Woke up
but all I want to do is go back to sleep
because the thought of the real world
is suffocating me

I dip my pain and misery in glitter
to blind you by the joy and colors
but you’ve called my bluff
You looked close enough to see
washed out colors
‘Why didn’t you tell me?’
Ashamed I look down
because I too was
blinded by all the glitter 
So desperately I wanted to be who I’ve always been
so I held on to it
I kept it there for people to see
that I wasn’t completely, 
broken
..
(And maybe I could even convince myself
that I was okay)
