Changeable

 

Changeable

 

I've never craved sunlight before,

Never really felt the sun.

I never hunger anymore

But I like to taste the food for fun.

 

My heart beats as fast as fire now

And disappears whenever you are near.

I let you steal it ‘cause you made a vow

To protect it and keep it dear.

 

I love whom I see through your eyes

When I look back from inside

I can deny all jealousy and lies

When you justify my pride.

 

You taught me how to really see

Without judgmental sight

Exactly how things are supposed to be

Undaunted by the phantom Fright.

 

Took a chance on a shy little girl

‘Cause she had a pixie’s eyes,

Like an oyster hiding a pearl,

Uncovered a woman inside.
