The sandman and the glass girl

[smoky lily]

I always knew that dreams could come true
But couldn’t have possibly planned
When I fell for that beautiful girl made of glass
Saw my reflection in her eyes but alas
She would shatter when I took her hand
The sandman can come and lay me back to rest
Weave another sweet dream but when I stand the test
The waking world knows just how this goes
It could never be quite as grand
As the dream I must flee
Allow my eyes to see
That if woman was crafted from man
What I throught was a dream
was simply a scheme
her glass gaze was crafted from sand

i just adore the way you wrote this, like the imagery
I absolutely love this one:

“That if woman was crafted from man
What I throught was a dream
was simply a scheme
her glass gaze was crafted from sand”
