BEHIND YOUR EYES
Sometimes when I see you, I have to look away
If I dont, instantly i am froZen in time....trapped by  your eyes
At first i pull back, afraid, afraid that everyone will see me motionless
afraid that you will see me motionless, afraid that you'll close your eyes forever to mine.
I give in quickly and begin to look inside, into the darkness of their reflection
and your eyes become a mirror of your soul
I see beyond your eyes, behind your eyes and with  your eyes
I can feel your heart beating matching my heart, beat for beat
I can hear your breath slowing, heavy, falling into perfect rhythm with mine
I see the world that only you live in..the world you keep hidden to yourself
the world you fear anyone discovering, using, to judge you, to hurt you, to control you
In an instant I see everything, i feel your life
I see you laughing with your self, alone surrounded by all your friends
I see you crying with the ones you've loved so deeply
I see you standing all alone in a dark room  surrounded by a collage of regrets
These fears that you cling to like a warm blanket are only reflections in your eyes
nothing more than mere shadows clouding your view, from your view
There is a place deeper in your eyes, a place not  even you've gone yet
where your world turns from dark to light almost too bright to look at, at all
In it i see your joys, your hopes, and your dreams
There you are surrounded by all your friends, their  faces out of focus, blurred
except the one friend that you're holding tightly in your arms, smiling at
Your tears are gone, dried in laughter as the past  finally becomes the past forever
I see the collage, the dark room, stripped and empty,  you're no longer there
No more fear, sadness is gone, a peaceful calm,  freedom
I see everything your world offers, to everyone you let  look in
who can look in deep enought behind your eyes
I try to attract your attention, screaming silently,  violently, frustrated by my efforts,
invoking no response if only you could see, right now, be right here, with me gaZing at the
light
Helplessly i watch as your eyelids slide down covering your eyes
like a giant steel door closing on a secret treasure  forcing me out, back into my world,
into my eyes
Everything moves again, I am free again, trapped  again
alone with you, together without you
Waiting, longing, watching for your eyes to open again
afraid, that they will never open for me again
afraid, that they will never open for you at all
afraid, you'll never see beyond the darkness that you live in,
to that light, that sun, hidden just behind the shadows
You walk away, leaving behind a warm joy, hot pain, never knowing
that i'm standing, missing that place..hidden  somewhere...
somewhere behind your eyes
"And if your eyes ever do open again, i will be there for you, trying to get in, waiting to
guide you to that place you just cant seem to go to alone, you wont go to alone.

Believe Me

Believe me when i say we are true
Believe me when i say i love you
They say absence makes the heart go fonder
but believe me i can't ait much longer
Believe me when i say we are true
Believe me when i say i love you
Believe me when i say we are together
Believe me when i say forever
