Love Disproved

Love, you have disproved your worth! or perhaps

my heart is yet in states of change, and has

not love to give, for given, one still seeks

to gain a higher self, or combined whole;

yet I tire of a love of halves. Has not

my wholeness made me known to those

still shaped by other's flaws, who seek a glow

in which to view themselves, by what I have?

I need not know another's eyes to see

myself, nor who I've been, nor make complete

unfinished work; yet nourishment to
bring relief in loneliness, for this I'd look!

Love, your lack of sight shall not make me blind;

I know my worth, and knowing, keep my time.
