Where are You?

What is it like to stare at the soul through the burning eyes of one you love

How does it feel to have reciprocated a need, a need that burns so deep inside

What sound makes the words that channel your thoughts in one direction only

And who chains the heart for the one and only, and only the one that brings you light

How does a smile lift your day like a summer sunrise can't

And how does a giggle that rankles another bring so much joy to your ears


What does it take for someone else to want to help and share my tears

Who is she that sees me broken and spent and scratching my way

But still dips a shoulder and gives me an ear willing to share my days

Why do I want this and need this and see this everywhere I look

But still only a single set of prints that line the path to my back

And everywhere, other people happy, no matter where I look...
