Your Heart's Looking Glass

The Heart's Looking Glass

To live inside your heart and mind is my only wish,
The privilege of your nearness is the sheerest bliss.
Seeing through your tears as a watercolor under glass,
cherishing breath sounds while you dream of the past.

I am the person I am because I gave pieces of myself away,
and melded them into parts of you where I prefer them to stay.
Your pains are mine, and your fulfillment is my utmost desire,
All of you, your trust, your love, your heart, is all that I require.

To be lost in you, drawn to you as a moth to a burning flame,
Is a small cost to be someone who has nothing but to gain.
For I've seen the world outside your heart, the emptyness it gave.
I'm now fulfilled where passion spilled, always your humble slave.

Your voice is the driving force that guides my homesick feet,
the path to you is well-worn, and the journey has been a treat.
No regrets at all, I'll come when you call, holding to you steadfast,
Always cherishing the view from within your heart's looking glass.
