Magic trick, you’re a magic trick, you make my face brighten, warm, and shine, Magic trick, you're a magic trick, you cause me endless joy, wry head shakes, claps, and smiles. Like a magic trick, you suddenly appeared in my life, I may have chased down your existence but truly, you were worth it, Because, Magic Trick, my Magic Trick, you brighten each facet of my life. I am your diamond, or so you say, with my playfully haughty self-esteem, I shouldn’t believe those words any day, but maybe I was a different gem under pressure from millions of years ago whom you have rescued from this occasionally cruel and cold-hearted world. I sparkle, you mesmerise, we each have our power, our ability to impress without words, my dearest, you bring comfort when I won’t express what’s ailing me, and those other magic tricks who were intent upon disappearing, I’m so glad they vanished, let me sparkle and shine because I am the one who you cherish. Place your cloak over both of us and we’ll travel away from this world, into a land of anonymity and soft, mesmerising twirled details, we’ll live by the mountains, by the forest, or the sea, anywhere where our presences live for each other, purely you and I to be seen. © 2020 Lauren M.
