Have You

Have you noticed day during night
Have you watched a bird not in flight
Have you seen the rainbow before the rain
Have you looked past my smile to my shame

Have you heard at night the words I scream
Have you ever understood what they mean
Have you realized how bad you hurt me
Have you known how my heart bleeds

Have you felt the sting of the words I say
Have you noticed how far from you I stay
Have you never cared about my shedding tear
Have you ever seen my true fear

Have you sensed my love for you
Have you said you loved me too
Have you looked into the cause of my pain
Have you figured out my shame

My love is the day during night
I am the bird not in flight
My eyes are the rainbow before the rain
And you, my love, are my shame
