Her sharp eyes sparkled in the dimmest light
An alluring azure, like two ocean views
Complexion pale, frail as a china doll
Yet she appeared sly as a wild hyena
She didn't bend to the world's restrictions
Everything seemed to revolve around her
And reflect the light she gave off
Like diamonds, with a toss of her silky raven locks
Conceived of spears, born of a victory
Sweet as brown sugar, yet harsh as lye
With a twitch of an eyelid, she can see all my lies
Younger than me, yet shockingly ladylike
Her rare smiles, refreshing as the crisp fall air
And her voice, soothing as a rain of rose petals
Shattered my guard as if promising me
That she'd never let it up again
So why do I never feel like I'm even ground level?
If she is literally my entire world, my sun and moon?
I could screw with my life all I'd like
And she'd still be leagues above
Why she's like this, I doubt even she knows
She must not even know how much she means to me,
Even to this day, as I drown in my shallow sorrows
Locked in an ephemeral embrace, yet no dishonesty between us
My only wish is that I could do as much for you
As you have done for me, for so many years
Though I'm such a coward, hiding from the spotlight
You try to tell me otherwise, but it's all so smothering
