*~*Glitter & Gasoline*~* The Break Down

Contributed by Rxqueen on Tuesday, 12th April 2005 @ 10:41:28 PM in AEST
Topic: Grief



glitter and gasoline

They don't love your sparkle anymore
they all see that you're just a whore
they don't want to feel the burn
no baby, now it is your turn

You sit there so serene
do you understand what i meen
have you figured out
there's no use to pout?

Glitter and gasoline
you are no beauty queen
your imaginary tiara has been ripped off
now at your vulnerability we all scoff

You were never who we wanted you to be
you were just eye candy for us to see
a dissapointent to say the least
on our temporary ignorance your sickness did feast

You thought you had the world in a jar
that we'd never find out you really are
(no shining star, just a fading scar)
but glitter you wash away quick
and gasoline your fire will burn out like a wick

So sit down drama queen
you may be glitter and gasoline
but you can no longer fake that smile
you can no longer live in denial

The pain you keep is to great to hide
and we are no longer along for the ride
you can try to choke back those tears
that been hiding behind fake eyelashes all these years

But we see you naked here tonight
no need to put up a fight
give up and give in
you are destroyed outside and within

So now baby throw away your dream
you are nothing but glitter and gasoline
washing away in your own tears
burnt out by you own fears

You've lost all your pawns in your deceitful game
glitter and gasoline... what a shame.

I've always admired you're honesty when it comes to your poems.

I really liked this sort a part 2, and yet it's only a conclusion of a never ending story.

You were never who we wanted you to be
you were just eye candy for us to see
a dissapointent to say the least
on our temporary ignorance your sickness did feast

I loved that part the best, i've been thru that and i know what you meant.

Hey Joce,
I liked this one as much as the first...they are so raw and so captivating..I especially liked this stanza:
So now baby throw away your dream
you are nothing but glitter and gasoline
washing away in your own tears
burnt out by you own fears

I thought the words were perfect and the flow was wonderful.

Chin up Jocelyn! It does get better.

You are an excellent writer,
you simply kick @$$.

I'm glad to be reminded you have
a real talent.
And better still it's real cool stuff,
not the kind of pretentious wordy bs
some snobs think is the only kind of poetry.

Such a strong poem sweet one. I loved it just like the first. The ending is sad, but the poem holds truth. I'm here for you always!!!

"The pain you keep is to great to hide
and we are no longer along for the ride
you can try to choke back those tears
that been hiding behind fake eyelashes all these years"

Wow what a stanza and a poem in general. I
didn't get the part about the gasoline, but I
thought this was a very melancholy poem but
I hope it allowed you to expunge some
tormenting thoughts. I hope you are feeling
better than you were before.
