In youth's embrace, my world grew dark,

A tender age, just twenty-two.

A man appeared, much older, dear,

His promise true, in shadows found,

Together bound by threads unseen,

Our hearts entwined, a complex dance.

We danced a dance of sharp discord,

With heroin's veil, our clarity lost.

Seven winters passed, our bond profound,

Until his flame did dim and fade.

My heart, once full, now ached, profound,

Regret and grief became my guide.

In depths of loss, I sought the end,

The dance of life, its bitter turn.

But destiny had plans, I found,

A new love's touch, my sightless state,

He saw beyond the darkened hue,

Our hearts in quiet harmony, unseen.

This love, unseen, a gentle strength,

Revived the dance within my heart.

With blinded eyes, though clear in view,

He sees me whole, my constant guide.

In him, my fractured world found peace,

A chapter new, together forged.

With past behind, our future bright,

We stand as one, our pasts unseen.

No longer blind to hope's warm glow,

We step anew into life's rhythm.

He's more than love, he's the light in my heart.

Together strong, a shared perspective.

Still dear to my heart, my love once known,

The life we shared, the joy we found,

And though I cherish the man I’m now with,

In memory's hold, his spirit unseen,

I honor him through life's grand dance,

Embracing love, beyond mere sight.

From sightless hue, a love reborn,

In dance and faith, my heart has found,

Unseen no more, our love takes flight.
