|
The candlelight dims the room
|
just enough to see
|
that ever-lasting life in your eyes
|
staring back at me.
|
I slowly make my way to you
|
and sit down by your side.
|
Overcome by fear of love
|
I place your hand in mine.
|
And you tell me:
|
|
"Look away, but don't forget
|
the life within my words.
|
Look away. Please, donĄŻt look back.
|
My love is in you, not my words.
|
|
I am the light found in your eyes.
|
I am the truth behind all the lies.
|
I am the spirit in all you do.
|
I am the faith found deep in you."
|
|
I stand up, leave the room,
|
and begin to curse my pride.
|
No matter how much I want to,
|
it refuses to let me cry.
|
I lay down on my bed,
|
thoughts burn in my mind.
|
I canĄŻt shake that picture of you,
|
I wish that I were blind.
|
|
Now my fear sneaks into my dreams,
|
and restless eyes spasm out of control.
|
Nightmares make it much worse than it seems,
|
but they just highlight, to me, the truth.
|
|
"I am the voice when you canĄŻt speak.
|
I am the sorrow that makes you weep.
|
I am the love within your heart.
|
I am the bond so weĄŻll never part.
|
I am the pain that lurks inside.
|
I am the cloud found in your mind.
|
|
I am the noise inside your head.
|
I am the hurt in the tears you shed."
|
|
"WonĄŻt you let it leave? Let me be?
|
Leave me with some dignity?
|
I close my eyes, close my mind,
|
take any escape that I can find."
|
|
Night has passed, the new day comes,
|
my eyes fear the light.
|
I shake off the sting of sleep,
|
and again, step in the fight.
|
I slowly make my way to you
|
and sit down by your side.
|
Overcome by fear of love
|
I place your hand in mine.
|
And you tell me:
|
|
"Leave me now, but donĄŻt forget
|
the life within my eyes.
|
Look away, please donĄŻt look back.
|
My love is always with you.
|
...And remember:
|
|
I am the voice when you canĄŻt speak.
|
I am the sorrow that makes you weep.
|
I am the love within your heart.
|
I am the bond so weĄŻll never part.
|
IĄŻm inside you."
