Looking for you...

I find you are the hardest thing for me to analyse
Collected years of suffering are hidden in your eyes
Although you show such happiness I know your pain runs deep
Held within a broken heart lest I should hear you weep

The essence of you bound and gagged my sighting of it brief
Skilfully you hide from me your talisman of grief
My heart it breaks to see you fighting back your threatened tears
Oh to kiss those trembling lips and banish all your fears

It hurts to see the single tear slip slowly down your face
The entrance to your being is a sad and lonely place
Once inside I pledge to you my tender loving care
And deep within my heart of hearts I hope you’ll meet me there

If I could reach the core of you your soul I’d salve and heal
Make mine the torture of your life the anguish you conceal
Untie the bonds that bind your heart relieve you of the pain
Fill it with my deepest love and make you whole again
