Golden Boy
Golden boy, your hair is perfectly curled, do you know that?
And golden boy I can’t see because your shine blinds me even in a room full of people
You’ll never see the sun in my eyes, like I do yours
Your blue eyes pierce into me like a fallen icicle in the middle of a snow storm
But at the same time my hands feel sweaty, like I am lost in the Sahara desert
Oh, golden boy, with hair as golden, do you realise what happens when I see you?
I hate it when girls talk to you, walk with you, even look at you
I can’t concentrate on what i’m doing
Golden boy you’ll never know,
You cant see a shadow like me, invisible behind all solid objects.
When you find a girl, she will be the human equivalent of the sun
You shouldn’t look or you’ll be blind, but that doesn’t stop you at least once
Oh golden boy, i’m not your golden girl, and I guess that’s ok
Gold is one of earths most desired things,
And I am just one of many who desire to own a little piece
Oh but Golden boy, nothing will stop me wishing to be your golden girl,
Not until I find someone who makes me feel like a golden sunrise

I like the idea of this but for me the lines are too long.
If you halved the number of words too it would be more penetrating, more plaintive, altogether more succinct.
Good to see you posting already Emma.
