Blinded Bliss

 The beauty of hers, flawless;

Insecurities she hid, pointless;

Scars she wore, beautiful; they said,

But I see things others don't.

I see the pain in her pretty eyes,

It has sat there for a while.

I apologize for that, for

It may take time to say goodbye.

I saw my house on fire, however,

It was not my world.

But I rather feel the burn,

For I am numb.

I see you, I do,

I'm sorry I let you get like this.

But hold on, I promise

I'll let you see better.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Is it all worth it? How dare I

Painted my future, in my head,

With colours that didn't exist.

The reflection smiles at me; With fear,

She all but whispers, "Goodbye".

My eyes absorbs her, but now,

I see things that wasn't there before.

She's not just flawless, but a picturesque.

Scars are her accessories.

Now I see, acceptance staring back at me;

Now that I see me, I'm mesmerised.
