shiny

 
my emotions build and my sorrow grows
loneliness is friendly within my heart
aching truth, I could love you

tender understanding, I am vulnerable before you
coming to you in my need
a dark hour, I never needed anyone

shattered illusion, is my happiness
when emptiness grows within the groan
and my soul wanders away
towards you again and again

gentle day, when you smile at me
telling my you love me too
my heart wonders did you mean it

sacred doubt you've never met me
you know the best of me
the worst of me is yet to be seen
if I was beautiful to look at maybe I could get away with it
but sadly my days of youth are gone

I still have enough magic to captivate
but not keep
so let's kiss in the darkness of fantasy
then depart as friends

before your hands rub away my shine
and I am no longer new to you
