Sweet dreams, my girl

A dedication, the commencement of thoughts so quiet I never imagined you’d hear them

Everything seemed so perfect on paper, but I wasn’t wrong to let you see how the butterflies danced around my heart whenever I saw you

Knowing all your sharp edges, months flew by without a single flutter,

But as those dangerous eyes of deep ice stared back, I fell through them over and over.

Was it easy for you? Looking at me and then looking at her?

My fragile heart was merely a sheet of glass bound to be broken by you

Tiptoeing on thin glass I thought was strong enough to hold all that was and all that is, I gave lingerie photographs and guilt stained kisses,

And you told me sweet dreams my girl only I was never yours for the ice in your eyes reflected a list of sweet nothings and the rigid remains of shattered glass.
