Your Bag of Tricks

All of my pretty imagery
Of worlds I see within your eyes
is beautiful
But nothing I write
And nothing I perceive
will ever be you
No amount of care
can ever truly express how I feel
No colours in the universe are how I see
But there were dark days
When you came with your
bag of tricks
And showed me the light
That could be carried inside
Days when you taught me
that my fears were baseless
And that I could still shine light
even when I couldn't quite
see it.
