Glory

She never had a chance but he gave her one and they were both made out of gold.  They shimmered when they walked and people liked that.  She soaked her feet in holy water and he looked her straight in the eyes and said, "You wreck everything you touch."

"Don't go on vacation," they said.  But it didn't matter because he took the car when they were asleep.

They told her she would never change and she said "I seem to have misplaced my pride."  They called her weak, unworthy, liar, sinner.  She looked up to heaven and asked if it were true and God said, "Blessed, blessed child," and she said "Glory."

He smoked weed in his mom's car and she said, "You forgot to do the dishes."  She was the Relief Society President and everything.

Nobody stuck up for him anymore and they all told his girlfriend that he was a prick but she still loved him.  He bought her a pair of shoes but he never liked it when she wore them.  Everyone cried when he left and they all said that they missed him.  No one really wanted him back though.  He's the kind of guy you love more when he's away.  It really is a shame because he had beautiful eyes.

"You have never felt pain like me," she said.

He wanted to marry her in a velvet dress but she showed him the bruises on her hipbones and said, "How could you do this to me?"

Anthems resonated from his chest and he told her to listen but she said she couldn't hear anything.  She called him weak, unworthy, liar, sinner.

She wrecked him, she did, and seeing those lights on the hill like a flame can break a man.  Twenty five years later he told her daughter, "Your mother broke my heart," and her daughter said, "Glory."

So he looked her straight in the eyes and he said, "You're gonna change the world someday."  She looked up to heaven and asked if it were true and God said, "Blessed, blessed child," and she said, "Glory."

Keep the change, ya filthy animal.
