Kenna Nunnery Poet Free verse

Phantom, Oh Phantom

i do not wish to look upon your face
for it would trouble me so
it would bombard me in my mind
causing another sleepless night for me
for its beauty shall be hid from me 
until i can't bear to imagine 
what i'm missing from you
such a lovely face 
shouldn't be marred or distorted
a tear shouldn't even be allowed to run down your cheek
for it would block my gaze from seeing your face
it would slide effortlessly down 
unto another place
leaving a trail behind to mar 
such a pretty face
i have never seen such a face as yours is 
but it radiates beauty 
from every place
so that is why i don't want to see your face
for i will be afraid that if i do 
it will be broken 
and i won't be able to see your face again
in it's once perfect state.
