deeper than words

the darkness within you
casting a spell on my soul
binding me by an invisible string,
only you can break me free.

believing what I felt,
ignoring what I saw.
trusting your words,
leaving me fooled.

at your worst
and yet,
never thought of leaving you.
got me questioning why.

a familiar day,
grown dim are the feelings of presence.
a book I couldn’t put down,
now I am re-reading the appendix
yearning for more.

the beauty that not everyone sees.
attention,
the purest and rarest
gift one can give.

the untold truths,
locked in the vault of your soul
wanting to escape in the darkness of the night.
the weight of burden,
barely keeping you going.

deeper than surface level,
beyond the glow of your skin
and your enchanting eyes
or your gentle curves.
the real you,
is all I ever wanted.

a stranger,
stumbling into your life
carrying a missing piece of your puzzle.
one step closer,
in completing the picture hidden within.

countess of lies
diluting the truth
unsure to what is real.

for what is to come,
life I’ve yet to experience
wanting it to happen with you.
