I Look Upon Your Face

I look upon your face as you lay sleeping. Wanting to see the secrets you are keeping. I know all about your feelings of fear. That I see with the occasional little tear, That rolls down you cheek when you’re unaware. The one when you’re awake you just can’t share. Sometimes I see a smile upon your face. That lets me know you’re in a happy place. But just as fast, that smile turns to a frown, That let’s me know that you are feeling down. I want to hold you close and make things better. I want to open you up and read what’s in that letter That you keep so tightly sealed up inside you, The one that tells of why no one can reach you. The one that would give me some kind of hope That might let me loosen that fearful rope That keeps you so tied up in all that fear,.. The one that might let me someday get near. Until that day all I can do is love you And hope someday that you’ll let me inside of you. And then I promise that I’ll take you to that place, where when I watch you sleep,..there’ll be a smile upon your face. Copyright: December 21, 2005
