Deception or Perception? Written -- February 14th TwoThousandNine

Deception or Perception?

No one is like this, What tricks do you play?
You see my stares, make of them what you may,
I have been deceived, or so it would seem,
Into thinking that you saw it in me.
That flame of who I really am, that so
Often is concealed. That flame wants to go
To see Who it is that makes my soul shine.
Although only in my mind you are mine.
Around you, the dead in me comes to life.
Your smile makes me forget all my strife.
Maybe my imagination is wild,
Maybe your true deception is mild.
Your infectious happiness calms me,
Your wise eyes more fathomless than the sea.
No matter what you see in me I know
That you're something different than what you show.
I guess it's perception that makes me see
Dark sweetness in you, and what we could be.
