I can't look in your eyes
If I did, I would die
An overdose of beauty I could not fathom
I would hide in the deepest chasm

I flee to the safest haven
For perfection, you're a maven
I just could not compare
Your angelic face I could not bear

Your serenity would blind me
Never again would I be able to see
Life's uncertainties

Then again, it would be a blessing
Sorry for confessing
As you see...
Life's too stark for me
I face this world and crumble
If I spoke I would mumble
A pitiful sound
Nothing profound

I am me...
I am misery
