Superficial Glee

Anyone want to take a crack at it's meaning? :roll: none of my friends guessed right



Hovering on the edge of a brink
You push me off with two firm feet
Falling like a shattered vase
Nothing to catch my dazed facade


Your eyes look hungry
In that drunken state
Hands clawing at my skin
You break me from the outside in

Whispered words make us flee
Hurried movements and shaky feet
Questioning eyes encase me
Only lust is what I see


Superficial glee
Regretful actions haunting me
More sand trickles down the glass
Making a wall of fabricated tasks


Broken promises
And fake sincerity
Eye glaze over
In a panicked flee

I'll take a chance at guessing this with few interpretations.

From the overall perspective the poem seemed to be about the wrong choice of the narrator in her friend/lover.

If I were to analyze the stanzas then it seems to be telling the tale of a shallow and rotten relationship.

That's about all i figured out.



There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like a life, particularly a good one, which is well to worth staying up all night to finish.
