Behind My Eyes

There's a fire burning
behind my eyes,
and it's
fueled by the spark
of his smile.
And I find my heart
a lonely
place if days
should pass
and nights should
fade
without him by my side.
I wish he could do it-
crawl inside these walls
I call a mind,
and see that
I'll try until my hands
are weak
to hold onto him,
To know the sun may
set,
but I'll never leave him
to the dark,
And to understand many stars
have lit my sky,
but he burns the brightest...
