Dim

Like black spots
by the dazzling sun
stinging to stare directly
torturing to take on its blaze
but unable to turn away

I was so in love
with you
that even now it
blows my mind
amazes me
dazzles me
that I could be so open
and fascinated
certain and
taken...

blinded,
looking away when love
damaged the retina and
forever blurred my sight
but, compared to your
magnificent love
everything else after you
seemed so
dim-
