Field Of Landmines (please comment)

I'll swallow my pride
as long as you understand
it's a rare occurrence,
as long as you understand
this is special.

Why do you advertise
your vacant empty heart?
Why wear it on your sleeve?
It's that girl, isn't it?
The one that hides around the traffic lights.

You tell me these things
While throwing glitter into my eyes,
blurring my vision.
Everything looks sparkly around the edges.
Prettier,
more enticing.

I'll walk a mile in your shoes,
but only if you realize
this is so wonderful.
It's my dream.
Don't take it away.

It's a crazy thing we have.
You and me on this
field of landmines.
We could blow each other apart,
if one of us could just persuade the other
to move one foot.

Instead we're both quite content to blow kisses
across the expanse at each other.
