A Peek Behind The Veil

My Girl

She is flawed
Scarred by lifes imperfection
Letting life flow through her
The good along with the bad

Experience over time forming tattoos
You can only see in her eyes
A beautiful bittersweet masterpiece
The highest joy and hopeless sorrow
To be human in a nutshell

She is one to make light in laughter
Using phrases to change the world
Shifting my perspective to match her own

She is an eternal lantern at my side
Casting light around me wherever I go
Darkness is kept at bay but within sight
No longer suffocating and making me blind

I can see the path in front of me
We walk hand in hand along the way
I see it now
My future is hers as hers is mine

She is there out in the darkness
I need only wander a bit farther
Toward the light I see in my dreams
There she is, my girl
