I didn’t know what I was missing
I’ve lived life with no vision.
I was their puppet of non-completion.

My heart constricted and the world slipped from my grasp.
It displayed across the projector,
Like a thornless rose that let true light pass.

I’ve woken countless times.
Days, weeks,
Months and I’m still mesmerized.

Captivating eyes with hues of green.
Accentuated jawline and the urge to breathe.
Nothing more exquisite can come of this.

I’m enchanted,
Elated,
Swooned by your glory.

I’ve never needed another being to live,
Often felt winded by this presence,
But without you I’ve lost all direction.

I’ve become the cat without whiskers.
The fish without fins.
and the bird without wings.

You, my darling was the great treasure the pirate captains were searching for.
You are no fool’s gold.
A once tarnished gem of the purest form.
