Disguise
I, detached from my own body
My soul uncapable to control
Heart beats louder than anyone but never heard
He saw me and I craved for love
Something so overbearing yet not at all
Deprived from the one solution I glorified
I sought him out, oh how juvenile
His love turned to loss
Loss of myself I hadn't known
That to love a man of such stature
Would demean my chatter
To whispers and soft spoken safety
Hoping one day someone will save me
From the way I shrunk deeper than ever
Only now I knew myself better
Better enough to know right from wrong
Better enough to leave a monster
So untangible his face was just as mine
Detached from his body
But I knew better
To save a man who never knew better.
I love him
