Illusion

Please don’t open me to your ideas
I fear I may lose sight of mine
Please don’t indulge me in your best today
For tomorrow, this magic may fade,
And disillusioned, for your illusion I shall pine…

Please don’t invade the walls erected around me 
They guard me strong.
So call me a stoic, call you may cold…
But the walls are resistant and impermeable,
Because, in the idyllic realm of your beauty 
you have never looked at yourself,
and felt totally vulnerable…

super awesom...and the first two lines are simplyyyyyyyyy amazing.. loved it!
If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity's displayed:
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.

So beautiful, sometimes it is difficult to let down the walls we build around ourselves to protect our hearts.
