a little while to live

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
