Look Away
When I look away
How is it that I still see
Your very face
that was just in front of me
Etched into my brain
Damn into my soul
Your love haunts me
forever my heart you hold
Words we speak but do not hear
All those times we dare to share
As your warmth turns bitter cold
we part but I won't let you go
Dreams bewitch my troubled nights
My soulless body yearns for flight
To wrap you in my wings so tight
melt away in our mortal might
If love is false it's pain is real
Tortured souls love kills
I cling to you for life to live
all I am as all I give
When you look away
How is it that you still see
My very face
that was just in front of thee
Flesh and bone won't deny
Urges of life to survive
But add love and the spirit ignites
look away, look away, at love's first sight
