The Moment I Live For

rough night
no sleep
the thoughts
they never rest

turns into a

rough day
no peace
walk it off
no time for this

and it's a

hard life
full of grief
pain
a struggle

and it's worth it

for that one moment
a single second of the day
it doesn't get any better
than that time

when

her face lights up
a fire
in those eyes
ablaze

in that moment

she smiles
and laughs aloud

if only
she did so
much
more often

every second 
I live
to make her
smile...
