New in your eyes

I have tried so hard it hurt my soul,

I have been broken to taste you so close.

Never have I fallen too far away,

never have I felt so alone.

The way you would look into me,

the way you would touch my face.

How deep can one heart taste the end,

how deep am I allowed to fall away?

I remember how you used to be,

I remember how you are right now.

Closing my eyes to see everything,

closing my soul to feel all that you give.

Breaking apart no more in your heart,

breaking apart just to come together with you.

Lost have I been in the depths of your fire,

lost I was before you found me.

Disguised as a light in your eyes,

disguised as a man without a heart.

You make me all that I see in the mirror,

you make me the man reflecting hope in your eyes.

All that I am inside is whole,

all that I was before is gone.

In your eyes I am something more than this,

in your eyes I am everything waiting to be held.
