I Turned My Eyes Away
Wedge between words
Seconds escape
A lost chance
An empty moment
A simple glimpse of reassurance
Might have saved a dying ember
Could have rekindle a passion
That has silently slipped by
What might have been
Becomes what is lost
And a sadden acceptance
Blamed on fate
Feed on neglect
Leads to departure
Too proud to show the need
Too proud to say I love You
