Serene Through My Eyes

In the still of night's abyss, Where shadows dance in sweet bliss, I yearned to remove my very own eyes, So she could see through the world's deceitful guise. I longed to share with her my unique view, Of her divine beauty and regal virtue, To reveal the truth the world tried to disguise, And restore her radiance deep inside. As I pondered my sacrificial act, To give her the truth that the world has lacked, I wondered if it would be worth the price, To see her own beauty through someone else's eyes. Would it be enough to give her the key, To unlock the chains that bind her free, Or would she need me to guide her way, To navigate through the darkness day by day. For what use is sight without clarity, To see but not comprehend the rarity, Of the beauty that lies beneath the skin, A priceless treasure, a love to win.
