The all consuming look
He gave her
A look that was oblivious
To anyone calling him
To any other beautiful
Distraction around
Come rain or snow
Come apocalypse
But he would not lift
His gaze from her
The gaze sought
Not to possess
But to protect
He would keep her safe
From any tornado
Raging around her
Because his gaze
Wrapped her so warmly
That anything seeking to harm her
Would have the gaze
To contend with first
For as long as i have existed
I have envied it
Wondering when
Or if ever
Someone would
Look at me that way
Only to realise
Now
That i was meant to be
Not a recipient
Of the gaze
But a giver
