A twinkle in her eye
She doesn’t seem the same
Her once longing stares
Are few and far between

She is glowing
She shut the door
Embarked on a new journey
Knowing she deserved more

He has her for now
He thinks
I will get her back
But the twinkle remains
She made her pact

Those eyes sparkled for you once
A flicker of hope
She had to blow out the candle
Or walk the tight rope

No balance
Unsteady
No promise from you

The twinkle won me over
And there’s nothing you can do
