And That, As They Say, Was That
by JadeWerewolf
When I first saw him, I had to have him.
[Body strewn in glitter]
He was drenched in sweat, oil and glitter though he had only started preforming.
[Microphone in your hand]
The way he moved with the music, the way he was a part of it, it felt like he was a part of me.
[Face dripping with sweat]
They despised him.
[Ohhh, let me be your man]
I loved him.
[Eyes lined with kohl]
There was something about his eyes...they met mine once and I grew weak in the knees. I needed him.
[No doubt you'll be a star]
And then he was mine for the taking. And he wanted me back.
[Mesmerize them with your voice]
He loved me.
[Ohhh, but don't forget who you are]
"The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history."
[You changed my world with a smile]
He was unbelievably tender underneath it all.
[Nothing would cost more than you]
You wouldn't expect him to be. But he was. And he wanted me. Just me.
[Glitter and glam, the words you live by]
And then... I don't know what happened.
[Ohhh, may I live by them too?]
"Go on, then! Back to your wolves! Your junkie twerps! Your bloody shock treatment! And fuck you too!"
[Body strewn in glitter]
And that, as they say, was that.
[Microphone in your hand
Face dripping with sweat
Ohhh, let me be your man]
