Glitter

All that glitter is not gold, sometimes its just there cover up the dirt underneath

Glitter

 

Who knew that you would change the way I see glitter

That it would remind me of a reunion

With you.

It sparkled on your brown skin that day

Rubbing off of me onto you

And we laughed.

The sun shining on you made it glisten on your face

and when you smiled at me I could have sworn

I saw heaven there.

My heart found a home in the soothing of your voice

My soul felt safe wrapped in your arms

What did I miss?

Did the glitter cover up the deception

And disguise it as warmth?

I need to know.

Were we ever on the same road?

Were you traveling with me?

Or was that a mirage?

I think I got glitter in my eyes they won’t stop watering

But it’s nothing that a new day can’t take care of

And that’s a promise…

I picked up all the pieces from the floor

And one by one I’ll repair the damage you did

Right after I get this glitter out of my eyes.

Love the glitter in your eyes image to cover up the crying and the way you will pick up the broken pieces of your live/love/peace of mind if and when you remove the glitter from your eyes. Very emotional and so sad yet very nicely written my fiend, keep em' coming

"My heart found a home in the soothing of your voice
My soul felt safe wrapped in your arms
What did I miss?"

i would say it was all a bit ambiguous to me at first...not the words...the words just sinked in, i meant the feeling. i couldnt understand whats the motion behind this very particular poem. read it thrice...then...you just re-invented a new meaning to " all that glitters isnt gold" but with a personla touch and also quite a sad lovestory behind those glittering lines!

you did a wonderful job with it! i love it!

I love the way you used the "glitter out of my eyes" in the end.. So true to the heart of too many.. An excellent write for sure..xx

You create a very good story and some good logic in this poem. Need to look beyond the skin to see what the person really is. I like the flow and the powerful ending. Thank you for a outstanding poem.
