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, don't 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 can't 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 can't speak.
I am the sorrow that makes you weep.
I am the love within your heart.
I am the bond so we'll 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."

"Won't 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 don't forget
the life within my eyes.
Look away, please don't look back.
My love is always with you.
...And remember:

I am the voice when you can't speak.
I am the sorrow that makes you weep.
I am the love within your heart.
I am the bond so we'll never part.
I'm inside you."
