shed my layers
to find me—
but I won't be there
I am an empty boat—
it might sail
to our own shore
I am a quiet forest,
a silent roar—
I don't have my way
with words
to win you over
I was called blind and
softly laughed at—
when I captured
a glimpse of
something lovely
glowing before me
I am not wealthy
I am not social
I remain invisible
I am simple
I stay away from
worldly glamour
I do not align with
what others
normally do
Perhaps—
my love is a little different
from the norm
I opened the door
and met your gaze—
you might get
disappointed
if you enter
Welcome love—
to my love
