I sought understanding in every kiss,

I sought compassion in each of thy hugs.

I sought a light between possible bliss,

I sought a meaningful care in all shrugs.

I sought out strength and courage in thy eyes,

I sought protection and love in thy arms.

I sought truth within all the shielded lies,

I sought hope while enduring endless harms.

I denied everything I saw from thee,

No matter the tears that had to be shed.

And what I found I neglected to see,

You showed me any faith possible dead.

I held on to dreams one breath at a time,

But that was before I turned up so blind.
