my love is
my definition
of beauty
her heart
and
her mind
illuminate
my shadows
shining bright
when i wake
ugly again

and i can be
so very ugly.

she is
everything
which helps
balance out
my nothing
without
diminishing
her wonder
in the
slightest.

sometimes
i fear
i am
her only flaw
and i know
she would laugh
at my fear
because her light
shines
bright enough
to blind her
to my
truth.

i send my love
in a torrent
which becomes
a tsunami
on these ugly,
ugly days.
