Torn At The Seams

Why does she have to be
so beautiful?

Her piercing eyes
plunge straight to my heart
I became blind
right from the start.

Everyone says she's wrong for me
to pursue
But they cannot understand
They will never experience the way she touches me.
They'll never see her
the way I do.

Why does she have to be
so nice?

She smiles,
melting glaciers inside me
I try not to stare
for fear of this magic moment
dissipating through the cracks
the armor upon my heart contains...

She is a dream
a golden splendor
of blinding radiance

She would make me
so happy
If she'd stop
twisting my heartstrings,
causing the pain again.

I shall treasure
each moment
each breath
spent beside her
Feeling a warmth
that requires not a single caress.

They say she's wrong for me.
That my heart will be crushed...
But every time I see her
I'll treasure as always
And her image will haunt my dreams.

I guess I'll have to be content
at restitching torn seams.
