Eyes Behind Fire and Smoke
Light bristles through the window
Reflective of life carrying on
Carrying on, it feels so strange.
Strange that a life worth living
With love and kindness abound
Is all you wanted.
It was so close and yet still so out of reach.
Reach for the stars
You never could
Could. Should. Would.
Would you stay if I asked you?
The you behind the eyes of fire and smoke.
Is that you?
It does not feel like you.
It does not look like you.
It’s dark. Dark. So Dark.
Fight it.
Let me be your light
Light at the end of the tunnel.
Release. Release.
Feel it.
Let me be your guide.
Your guide. Your friend. Your ally.
Surrender. Surrender.
Take it.
Its all I hope for you.
The you behind the eyes of fire and smoke.
Do you know that I love you?
Do you know that I will miss you?
The you behind the eyes of fire and smoke.
A memory.
Its what is left behind.
Behind the eyes of fire and smoke.
