In the Eyes of Love

Loneliness was all I knew;
Only You were kind enough to show me the way.
Your radiance was a light in darkness,
Ever brilliant and ever fading.
It felt as if you would break into pieces
If I were to reach for your hand.
Vying for Your affection,
Was just so difficult with all the others in the way.
I wanted to be noticed.
I wanted to be recognized.
And I knew if I could win Your hatred,
You would belong to me.
Greatness is overrated;
Good is not much different from evil.
Of all the things I ever did,
Betrayal was what made You see me.
Disappointment, hatred, enmity...
It was all worth it.
You paid attention; You hunted me down.
You branded me the Traitor and declared me Your enemy.
I could not win Your love, so I sought Your hatred;
I wanted a place in Your heart,
And in this way, I received it.
I have drowned in beauty,
Lost in the same dream Heaven shares.
I had grown obsessed with perfection...
...I fell in love with God.
