Everything

Glimmers and glimpses

I can see that spark in your eye

Fragments and fiction

Still enough to light my entire sky

If half of you is all I could have

It would be enough for me

It is more than having all of someone else

Because you are all I see

You are everything to me

The most appealing line is "fragments and fiction" because it contains an ambiguous meaning for what the speaker sees in the lover's eyes. In a sense, you can only perceive small portions of the person through their eyes, and some of it can be deceit if you are talented not to betray your emotion. In a nutshell, I see the narrator as a person of altruistic devotion while the apple of her eye does not meet her half way. She appears to accept the man she is able to have a relationship with even if it is friendship; accepting his flaws.

Overall, I thought it was a playful poem within the structure, but it illustrates something that can lead to unpleasantness of love.

Haven't we all had an unrequited love? One where we sit there and love and wish they could see it but know they won't. Wish against all hope they will but know they ever will

Short, but still meaningful.
Your words always seem to catch my eye and spark my interest the most.
You just have a way with it and it really jumps out when you write.
I liked this.
Good job!

Sad to see love so unrequited
