ROSE-COLORED MIND
08/22/2021
i built myself a house out of rose colored glass
so you could live there with me
so i wouldn't notice when you hurt me
or hear you say "goodbye, baby"
they say i need to wake up from my dreams
& take in the world around me
write myself out of the storyline
that runs parallel to reality
but when i look through my windows,
everything seems just fine
& when i look in the mirror,
i see you standing by my side
forever and ever i'll find you, my love
in the home that i built, in this story i write
every frame, every scene, every wall, every room
is tainted — with the happiness i demand from you.
