Look

Is it the way

You look at me

That steals my breath?

Or is it simply

My mind reeling at

The very idea that

You could be mine?

Then you kiss me

And the world fades,

If only for awhile.

And I can't help

But imagine what you

See when your eyes

Look into my own.

What do you see?

The pain from my

Days in the dark?

The scars buried deep

Within my mind and

Within my very soul?

Do you see the

Smiles you bring me?

The laughter and the

Chills down my spine?

Do you feel my

Heart pounding violently as

You hold me tight?

I wonder what you

See as you continue

To look at me.
