chiseled with such precision 
everything is in place 
perfection outlining every space 
your spirit within me 
not a soul knew my face
love changed my gaze..
no longer held down by the haze of darkness 
a presence so bright 
like the stars lighting the night 
you lit up my life..
revealing each part of me 
loving me in spite..
no carving out this heart 
no boxing me away 
exactly who I am 
is she who’s here to stay..
