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
