Light

I just wanted to stand in your shadow
And you shined on me like a beacon of light
I was just a wallflower
glowing eyes in the night
Your attention to me alarmed me
I was the paper doll
You were the life
The black sticky hole in my chest
As if it didn't exist
And everything was perfectly fine
I knew it was temporary
So something inside of me
Cataloged the memory
as permanently as can be
Forever in my mind
A source overflowing joy
From a man as happy as a clam
To a girl that wanted to be a boy.
