Today I saw you carrying the world
Within the space between your eyes and soul;
A gaping crisis of your hopes unfurled,
A hole within that wishes it were whole.
You've lost your grasp on meaning, you tell me,
And in your time of need I wish I could
Have found the words conveying what I see;
In time I finally say the words I should:
If I could show you what I see of you,
The light you grow behind my eyes - I would.
If I could make you feel a dazzled hue,
Just half the way you make me feel - I would.
Could make you know how much you mean - I would.
If I could grant you peace inside - I would.
