All That Glitters

Gatekeeper, gatekeeper, sing me a song. Something light and airy.
Something sweet.
Give me hope. Give me a dream so I can sleep.
Tonight.

All that glitters isn’t cold. I don’t believe the lies you tell so easily.
Swing the door open for me. Please. Pretty please.
Smile and say, come in. Come.

Gatekeeper, gatekeeper, write me a poem. Something dark and edgy.
Something real.
Give me peace. Give me a drug so I can write.
Tonight.

All that glitters isn’t old. I don’t believe the truth you tell so easily.
Swing the door open for me. Please. Pretty please.
Smile and say, come home. Come.
