Sunspotting You

you’re bright 
so dazzlingly, overwhelmingly bright;
you’re the sun that sears the sky and
all the earth can only stare

i want to hold you
to cup you in my hands
 to feel your warmth between my 
palms and see your light run through my fingers

for the rest of my life, i want to have you with me
to warm away the winter chill and light up the night
but it hurts- 
it hurts too much to bear 

the you who burns brighter than the sun— who burns 
my eyes with your shine— the you who hurts
too much to hold
i can’t ever have you in my life

i want to avert my eyes
to forget your light
but you’re just so bright
you’re too brilliant-

 i can’t ever look away
