Disillusioned

did you know, that
i once had eyes for
something
i didn't see in
lakes or mirrors?
lights held presence
under this bleak
sky.
i think, i held something precious
overhead--
near the base of my heart,
end held no bearing then--
dear, before the eclipse.

Did you catch it? Did you see? Here, let me show you:

D id you know, that
I once had eyes for
S omething

L akes or mirrors?
L ights held presence
U nder this bleak
S ky.
I think, i held something precious
O verhead--
N ear the base of my heart,
E nd held no bearing
D ear, before the eclipse.

Selfishness. It does that to you.
