Compass in My Heart

A lone dark-coated figure standing in still, mirror-calm water under thick white fog, an indigo glow around them and one faint star overhead.

I hate that we’re not togetherFor you’re more beautiful than everon the inside, your light illuminatesoutwards, your star resonatesan impending paradise

I thought I had lostRun out of luckmy visions started in blurseyes red as ChristmasThen you came from a blueMixed with my essenceThat pure presence coversour aura in indigo

I bargained with the devilExchanged with the angelsEven after a billion dollarsStill owe a lotYet I found youand now I owe some moreMy debt none could clearFor you’re a rare gemAnd I’ve been around the world

I’ve sailed the seven seasWith a compass in my heartThat led only to youSo for a while I remained lostTrying and failing to fill the void
