I could search the world for beauty to match your own,
but never see a comparison for me to look upon,
I could search the stars and look to the open skies,
but only find faint comparison to even describe beauty in your eyes,
I could search the ocean going farther than ever into the endless sea,
but still find nothing remotely close to that of your pure beauty,
your beauty could control the elements to stop the rain on a cloudy day,
because god would bring out the sun to shine down upon your face,
I dare not look upon the skies, the moon, the sun or stars,
not sunsets or rainbows or even glistening diamond shards,
because to me I see beauty when i look into your being,
from the first time i saw you, i knew it was perfection i was seeing.
alone in the darkness i try to stay to the light,
to hone my senses and keep up my sight,
I need to be aware eyes opened wide,
need to know when to open the stride,
trailing behind me a long history of dismay,
trying not to look back as i continue to run away,
some days are easy as i keep a steady gaze,
avoiding the temptation to turn and get caught in the haze,
all for nothing if i cant keep moving on,
longing to find a place to someday rest upon,
I will find that place though hidden from my view,
I will someday run across it because its worth it to pursue,
Haunted for the momment but hoping for my release around bend,
pull me towards safer grounds give me your hand to lend.
