Sparkle
The pressure builds, you a gift, you're hoping that your dread will lift - It glitters on her like a glass you shudder as it comes to pass - Apologize to Luce and Lil', converse with Ed, a drive with Jill - Your friends confine you in their worlds, one by one, a string of pearls - Confuse you say, this isn't me, you hover in their unity - Ashamed, you slowly lose your grasp release the links, undo the clasp - The skin that drips down from the tree and peels back slowly from your knee - Erupts into your lung and heart, you laugh and laughing, fall apart
