Within a gift

In a song lyrics are spoken in depth,

feeling all of this as a dream giving in.

Making words meaningful my eyes,

just to be the gift you always wanted.


If I bleed, does that prove I live?

Live to love I am destined to die.

Die I have cried to feel who I am.

Am I only the questions left unanswered?



In my eyes I have seen what I feared,

tasted on my lips the waters of pain.

Aside from who I have in my arms,

I am nothing but who is looking back.



I feel the lights burning the darkness away.

Away from this moment I find in your heart.

Hearts of shadows making their way into me.

Me with you knowing how to breathe once again.



When you look into me I know as you feel,

as tears freeze inside, it is my eyes that speak.

In your pain I am able to take all away,

just to be closer to who you are for me.
