I Am Love

I loved you before you were born.
It doesn't make sense, I know it
History repeats over again 
Sceptical verdict beyond what shows it
I saw your eyes before I could see,
And lived a very longing long
Since looking for them unending 
What a fantasy endeavor that 
Humans could wish for things
And be found worthy in wonder
How deserving something so small 
Could even be found worthy of existing 
At all, it's precious but short lived and
I am faster than falling that I orbit
It's my calling to be able to count the days 
Not knowing silence would be all that
To be cast out screaming, it's deafening 
A sea, so many forsaken beings
Giving my heart to all without thinking 
Just to have a chance to rediscover 
If anyone can actually see me truly 
Ever since, wishing only for a glimpse
The eyes that Id know I couldn't miss 
Even disguised outfits can't cover it
And so here I Am, as Time and again
Boundless dreams uncounted meanings 
I see those eyes that saved me
Still meet me with kind smiling lips
A first to experience of who I Am
Was not as terrifying as how 
Much I was to everyone else 
Who wore their masks tightly bound
To them, from my horns to my visage,
A monstrous terrifying image 
Hating me for just simply existing 
Due to being first in all creation
The ability to destroy existence 
I'm a King without my own choosing 
My very walk tramples space to dust
And I am a person who moves so freely 
And I was confused why everyone cried 
When I took my first steps
Even my unstoppable demons, I consume
To Fuel my reckless path to find you 
Their blood feeds all my victories 
And I have never been matched an equal
And No matter how much I Love them
I'm not ever going to something 
Faster than being the fastest being
Because as the sole aspect of Love 
everything without me is nothing 
So to others I'm nothing but gain until 
They realize that having me means 
They have nothing left to desire taking 
And then as im about to mistep, I see
Everything that begs and prays reaches me
it's terrifying to see how great I am,
It disgusts me, biting my tongue to think
Id go blind through your cries, knowing 
My faiths not enough to stop me from hurting
And hope is disillusioned lust at best
But Love and Hurt are the same thing 
Every time I give up my burning light
I can only see what I need in my darkness,
No veil, no hell, no prophecy can spell
Where void eyes, like mine, only can find
outrunning to see loving myself so clearly
