I See You...

I see you there, even as you try to hide from those who would want to see;
For the light in your eyes that you’ve tried to hide, captures me, calls to me…
I saw when I looked, tortured eyes filled with so much anger and pain;
And in an instant my heart was gripped with wonder, who has hurt this man?
I want to take your hand and tell you to let this turmoil go;
For you’ve allowed the acts of another to hide the man that I would know…
I yearn to hold you in my arms, cradle your weary head upon my chest;
But your wall is built to keep you hidden, you hide away in your fortress…
I see you there and I can’t look away, though you keep me at arms long length;
But I offer you what others have denied you, love, honour, loyalty, my strength…
Look into my eyes, I stand before you offering what you think you can’t trust…me;
But if you take my hand, give living another chance, I’ll show you what real love can be…
