shattered globe

Yesterday I was a queen
and I ruled my world supreme
and whenever I danced
The snow would fall and
cover me in pixie dust
And everything would glitter
In the stillness of it all

There's shattered glass
beneath my feet
and I'm bleeding on your carpet
This shag white carpet
From the seventies with
Lovely bloody footprints
around your bedroom

But yesterday a crack appeared
and suddenly my walls were sheared -
and all my jewels were plastic
and my rose garden was a painting
(and they'd always been)
So I said the word, which was the law
Let my globe shatter in the fall

There's shattered glass
beneath my feet
and I'm bleeding on your carpet
This shag white carpet
From the seventies with
Lovely bloody footprints
around your bedroom

I'll never dance in a fall of glitter
while the world revolves around me -
never again -
Do you think I'm too brittle?

Will I shatter too?
