My Dear Love

A Poem

Brightened by delight

A light filled with life

Splendor attracts flies

But you shine so high,

Far away from all shrines

Without arrogance, you look down on us

Not a fool, but so full of yourself

Giving, not wanting anything in return

A love so hot my heart, burns

My ideal, I want to be yours

For years, you never took me as I came

Desperate, because you keep playing games

Resentment, I swore to take into my grave

Through dark caves, I paved my way

Staring at darkness, I found the gray

Enlightened, by obscurity

Blinded, by security

An epiphany

I came to realize that

Your indifference paid me the most respect

You saw me, more than I did

Not accepting me any less than I was

That is when I understood what is true love

I now look at you, eye in the eye

Wholly consumed, by your fire

And all that is left of me

Is your very purity

Is this, what they call, coming together?
