Blissfully Blighted
My sunken eyes, bear signs forlorn,
For in their gaze a love was born
Your gentle way, your soft kind eyes
Draw me in deep, my love entice
Your delicate features, your radiant skin,
Your endearing little quirks and mannerisms
Your perfect imperfections,
Though exquisite,
Simply cannot capture your deeper beauty within
lonely when apart, yet I feel lonelier, when nearer still,
For more apparent is the hole to fill.
But though I feel such intense despair,
It’s not pure,
In fact it’s delightful.
It’s a delightfully distressing indivisible dichotomy
A delightful despair,
A terrific turmoil,
An excruciating ecstasy,
For though my stomach is on knots, there are butterflies too
Though my eyes are sunken, they sparkle true
Though my heart hangs heavy, it flutters uncontrollably too
For it hangs in the balance, my fate in your hands
Only you can release me from this jarring harmony
This Cacophonous Symphony,
Free me from my emotional purgatory
Are my feelings returned? Or Unrequited?
For while I wait to find out,
My heart for you, remains,
Blissfully blighted.
