im a shadow in your eyes
a cancer
a plague
disguised and concealed
i blinded you
until you came

i can block out your fears
calm and comfort you
but only for a while
before i steal what you came
to just give away

plucked from random
a molecule from the cosmos
i stole you
only to surrender you again

you weren't mine but i was yours
even if for only a day
that's when my cancer took it all away
