Your crisp blue eyes gaze steadily into mine
A tear sneaks from it's place
As I hold you close, I try to find
The cause for the sadness on your face

The  strain in your eyes is all too real
searching, needing, begging, pleading
looking for a trace of what I feel
but it's for you that my heart is bleeding

Your pain is now mine and mine is now yours
But help is all I wish to give;
Please explain to me more
Please allow me to live.
