It was all over in a moment,
Everything you once hoped,
The second you saw the illusion
That the glistening mirage evoked.

Deep pools of green, chocolate, blue,
Each one a beautiful escape,
Each one designed as a cunning ruse,
The eyes meant to seal you in your fate.

Dew drops perfectly reflecting,
The geometric spiral awaits
Luring the innocent inside,
Then the guardian slams the gates.

The spider’s web and the eyes,
You go in when the trap is concealed.
Once the trap is sprung, the door is closed,
You gladly stay, the danger revealed.

When winds at night on windows roar
wax runs out dies candle's flame
you would hear a knock upon door
a familiar voice calling your name.

Don't respond nor open the eyes
the voice is keen over winds' howl
grows it louder its pitches rise
scaring even the brave barn owl.

Pull the blanket up your head
you are safe so long you hide
lie dead quiet not move on bed
with mom asleep by your side.

Between the pause your fears mount
if is a chance to be found out
one two three the calls you count
but count it right leave no doubt.

Three times the voice would call your name
for it has no power to do any more
but move onto where dies a candle's flame
and a child is awake behind closed door.

Give me a chance
To make this all right
I just can't walk away
I'll continue to fight

For you, for us
For what we once had
We can make it back to that place
If you'll just take my hand

I went off the deep end
Unsure how to swim in new depths
But I promise I can learn
We can still salvage what's left

We can build it back up
I know it may take time
But I'm willing to do whatever it takes
Please don't let this die

talk to him when he’s down
he hates to admit that he is
make him laugh when he doesn’t want to
you wouldn’t want to give that smile a miss

remind him he’s being silly
when his “space” gets to his head
but in a way he thinks its his own idea
or he’ll ignore you instead

On most days, if i’m not wrong  
he’ll want to leave everything on a whim
thats when you’ll give him a hug
and tell him you believe in him

but everyday, i assure you
he’ll be able to make you smile
sometimes even one small conversation
makes your day worth the while

and he wont know how to say how he feels
he probably doesn’t even know it himself
but what he’s thinking reeks out
in every word he says

i cant be there for him
i cant love him the way he deserves to be
i’d hate anyone who hurt him
i just wish that person wasn’t me.

love him everyday, he deserves it
and make him laugh a lot
he deserves the world really,
so love him in the ways i could not.
