How drab.

May my gaze be forever drawn
That I won't see your beauty.
May transgression's seething soothe
That love won't be my folly.

I stared too long upon you
That I saw what wasn't there
The truth was hidden from me
I knew, but did not care.

I saw, instead, what I desired
In all you did to me
Unaware of the timely price
Of unrequition's healing.

May my gaze be forever drawn.
