Love is
Love is

love is like a prize
heart-eyes, butterflies
new lives to recognize
no more sorrow and no more lies
masks are not a disguise,
but a hiding place from the devil's eyes
the one who was thought of as a sun rise
shining light on all the darkest highs
unmasked to show despair’s surprise
an old intimacy turned to brutal cries
no longer chains, but freeing demise
brought by an angel in disguise
love is a prize
