And tell me is it over now? Do you know how? Pick the Pieces and go home… -Gold Dust Woman Fleetwood Mac

I stand on the sidelines watching you
sledgehammer everything good in
your life for someone far too young to
take your love serious for much more
than a sunset moment.

I’ve always been as loyal as a friendly dog
so I can’t possibly walk in your shoes you
scream. Maybe so, but even a blind fool
can feel the heat radiating from a burning
house.
