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

[knightcall]

the imagery of glitter on brown skin is exceptional. I also get the idea that the concept of glitter being hard to clean up or get off you is very evident here. Impressive.

Relatable. Enjoyable because of being so. Comfort for the ones lost in a similar branch of all kinds of disturbing memory plays.

Kiddo...I think I know exactly where, what and when on this one.

This is a magnificent writing that speaks so loud and clear. I love it. One of the finest poems I have read.

I feel your pain!!!

nice poem, love is ever changing and that takes a toll on the heart, but new days do bring a bit of healing, I like it Gold.
