Your eyes shimmer like distant stars on water,
A light that reached me through all I thought I’d slaughter.
Your smile broke through the walls I swore would never bend,
Reviving the version of me I thought had met its end.

Your presence halts me—like fate, firm and unshaken,
My guarded thoughts unravel, no longer forsaken.
Your hair flows wild, like freedom in parade,
And in your gaze, I forget I was ever betrayed.
