closer

we walk confidently into the room
head up eyes down. the slightestflashes of faltering confidence
oh weighed down, unbreakable heart
just a tinge of a smirk of the past
keep your tears in, mouth faking smiles
and i promise you a drink
striding thighs, pick up your feet
squeezing fists, bone white knuckles
and an ever so pouting mouth
painted face, draw over restless eyes
to create the illusion of animation

i have a new option for you
you dont have to feel this way ever again
this new special bonus offer
it doesnt cut away all your emotions
keep what you want
just tick this box
on one condition.
this is the catch
you have to throw away your newly found buzz of unreality
the picrure perfect glamorous lifestyle
its paper thin baby
you love the attention
and i'm not gonna lie we all do
my little attention whore
do you want a trashy day-time saviour
?
