Illumoria

Illumoria:  "The realization that every person has hidden parts of themselves, a light they rarely share" (definition from urban dictionary).  

there she is 
across the room 
her head in the book she is reading 
she looks up ever so often to stare out the window 
and he stands there surrounded with people 
secretly glancing at her 
wondering about the secrets she was hiding 
behind those chocolate brown eyes 
that shone as the sun rays reflected off of them 
at some point their eyes meet
she scurries to look away 
finding refuge in the corsage of words 
he tries to approach her 
but halts 
as he catches a glimpse of her 
choked up 
trying to camouflage with the surroundings 
the distance between them remained 
he couldn't bring himself to reach out 
he was scared he'll hurt her 
and she.... 
well she maintained her distance 
she was scared she'll blind him with her light 
a light so dark she kept it hidden deep within herself
and that's when it settled in 
the illumoria
