Analysis of What You See In Me
Your eyes blacker than the oceanic abyss
Falling I fell carefree into their bliss
I thought you had saved me from hell
I was born again from what I could tell
But as I held you greedily in my embrace
As I studied the expression of your face
Epiphany overcame me in those eyes
I became all-wise shedding all lies
You beheld in me anti-incarnation
My flesh gave way to divine evisceration
God was what you saw in me
Not a man but Ego Eimi
