I long to shine bright
In the eyes of another
Whose beautiful blue gems
Sparkle and light
My dark path to redemption

Because you
Have spoken to my heartache
Attempted the soothing
Of every wound Time left
And tirelessly scrubbed
Each stain on my soul

So I hide
Knowing that
your efforts are all in vain
For I would kill
To save your life
I would hurt
To save your happiness
And I would ignore
Every broken body
And shattered soul
Unless it had your eyes
