I walked through the shadows, a blind kind of grace, Looking for a soul, not a name or a face. I didn’t need a crown or a hoard of bright gold, Just a hand I could trust, and a truth I could hold. You built up a maze made of riddles and lies, A "test" for a heart you couldn't recognize. While you played your games in the dark, out of view, I was falling for the ghost I thought was you. You called it a "check" to see what I’d crave, But I was already deep, I was already brave. I wasn't chasing the shimmer or the weight of a purse, I was loving the man—for better or worse. You let me feel "crazy," you watched as I spun, Hiding your light like a thief hides the sun. But the joke’s on the jeweler who doubts his own prize, Because I saw the worth with my own naked eyes. It never mattered if you were a king or a stray, I’d have stood in the rain either way. But you can’t test a spirit as honest as mine, And expect it to wait for your "perfect" design.

The Unseen Gold
I walked through the shadows, a blind kind of grace, Looking for a soul, not a name or a face. I didn’t need a crown or a hoard of bright gold, Just a hand I could trust, and a truth I could hold.
