I made you something pretty
The only way that I know how
And if only it could but a reflection
Of the beauty you emanate
The earth around would shine brighter than the sun
In the glory of your resplendence
I stabbed my emotions into computer keys
I projected my innermost desires onto a white screen
I shivered in repose as the world outside my window grew colder
And I warmed myself with your memory
I was foolish to think I could convey
The cathartic rush of my soul experiencing your own
There are no words for something so otherworldly
Something from the eternal
Something beyond all reason and limitation
I tried best I could to capture your essence
To crystallize all I'll know of you in poem
But there is no reconciliation with the impossible
That poem is gone and the introspection with it
I'll be the only one who knows how deeply I feel for you
There will never be a sufficient way to explain
