she stands still and perfect like an angel
my heart shatters at the mere view of her
of beauty and grace with no parallel
i would approach but my heart isn’t pure

she embodies all of my deep desire
and my longings i’ve always kept hidden
her gaze that of ice and uncut sapphire
cause these feelings to rise up unbidden

so i watch from the secretive shadows
and wish to just be a part of her life
but i am aware it’s not how this goes
for her perfection it cuts like a knife

so i fade from the scene of her glory
the immaculate wonder that is she
