Contrition
Entranced; she danced in subtle steps
above the stars and below my eyes
with delicate voice my heart she kept
Enraptured again at each sunrise
Disarming in her alarming ways
With charming flaws so flawless
and excitement in her awkward gaze
Delving into my life; an utter mess
Concentrated on her perfect smile
I ignored all the world's distraction
and hypnotized in blissful denial
Clumsily; I could not see my own reaction
Benevolent heart was hers to give
and graciously in peace she gave
without her I felt I struggled to live
Bound in adoration; her slave
Acclimated to my unrequited position
I surrendered and loved her from afar
forever living with my contrition
Attuned to any signal from her heart
