I looked deeply inside your eyes
And lost myself-
I saw my reflection in all its beauty and all its flaws.
I fell into the abyss
Ripping and tearing at the waves as they crashed upon me
Relentless
I looked to you for solace and found more pain, more sorrow
More reflections, more rejections
I fell upon my knees
Begging for mercy and found none
Ripping and tearing old scars, old wounds
crashing wave upon wave
Unending
When I felt I could take no more-
I looked into your eyes,
And found more pain, more sorrow
I surrendered
Upon my knees with aching in my chest
I looked down and saw my heart upon the ground,
My tears dripped upon the still beating heart
Crashing wave upon wave
Reviving, Regenerating
I picked up my heart,
And with chest ripped open,
I placed my heart back where it belonged
But left the opening.
I could feel where nothing was felt before
Riding through the pain,
I could feel the joy
I saw the light I had blocked behind the wall,
Moving past the pain, the scars, the sorrow
I found solace
Inside myself
I found love
Inside myself
I found peace
I looked in your eyes and now,
I see only you.
Inside you
I give you solace
Inside you
I give you love
Inside you
I give you peace.
