Velvet Rope

When you call my name
You turn me around, I can’t
Protect or hide
Myself from you
And I can’t budge when every
Sign is screaming that
You have set your sights
On something new
And I taste his name
And his canned variety that could
Stand out against
Your borrowed universe
So you broke the crutch
That I shared with you
I tried so hard to win my way past your velvet rope
Too many biting on your eye becomes attrition
It was a dim light day
A long time coming
When you cut the cord
To your heart
