Can’t not think of all the cost

And the things that will be lost
Oh, can we just get a pause?
To be certain we’ll be tall again
Whether weather be the frost
Or the violence of the dog days
I’m on waves, out being tossed
Is there a line that I could just go cross?

And when I was shipwrecked (can’t think of all the cost)
I thought of you (all the things that will be lost now)
In the cracks of light (can we just get a pause?)
I dreamed of you (to be certain we’ll be tall again)
(If you think of all the costs)
It was real enough (whether weather be the frost)
To get me through (or the violence of the dog days)
(Out on waves being tossed)
But I swear (is there a line that we could just go cross?)
You were there

Now that we don’t talk

You went to a party
I heard from everybody
You part the crowd like the Red Sea
Don’t even get me started
Did you get anxious though
On the way home?
I guess I’ll never, ever know
Now that we don’t talk

You grew your hair long
You got new icons
And from the outside, it looks like you’re trying lives on
I miss the old ways
You didn’t have to change
But I guess I don’t have a say
Now that we don’t talk

I call my mom, she said that it was for the best
Remind myself the more I gave, you’d want me less
I cannot be your friend
So I pay the price of what I lost
And what it cost
Now that we don’t talk

What do you tell your friends, we
Shared dinners, long weekends with
Truth is I can’t pretend it’s
Platonic, it’s just ended

So I call my mom, she said to get it off my chest
Remind myself the way you faded ’til I left
I cannot be your friend
So I pay the price of what I lost
And what it cost
Now that we don’t talk

I don’t have to pretend I like acid rock
Or that I’d like to be on a mega yacht
With important men who think important thoughts
Guess maybe I am better off
Now that we don’t talk
And the only way back to my dignity
Was to turn into a shrouded mystery
Just like I had been when you were chasing me
Guess this is how it was to be
Now that we don’t talk

Better start believin’ 

I’ve been fortunate to see my favorite artist in RL several times this year. Do you know who else I’m looking forward to seeing? The Def Leppard Tribute Concert! I saw them last year and I was amazed by their talent! This year I took advantage of checking out the stage before they perform at Rock Your Rack 2023. I’m so excited! They perform opening day on Friday, September 29, 2023 from 6 pm to 9 pm SLT.

I’m wearing “Groovy” by Hot N Heavy, an exclusive item, at Rock Your Rack 2023. It gives me serious rock and roll vibes. Click here to see other events happening at Rock Your Rack 2023!

I could show you incredible things…

I have my eye on leopard print because I see it everywhere! At first, I thought it was a homage to 1989 Taylor’s Version and her delicious portrayal of an unhinged woman, but quickly realized the world doesn’t revolve around Taylor (it should). Regardless, PurpleMoon is back! I’m glad to see one of my all-time favorite designers coming back into the fold. You can find this outfit with a variety of patterns and colors at Designer Showcase!
