in your eyes,
my soul flows gently,
caressing every word,
every memory weve made,
every smile,
that ive brought you.

in my eyes,
yesterdays scares,
are left to linger,
in the chilling shadows,
that are my past.

in your arms,
i lie listening,
to the sound of every heartbeat,
that promises emotions,
never fading,
realsitic charms,
that wither away my shallowness.

in my soul,
a fear of lust,
pulls my body from you,
still a gentle grasp,
you have of my heart,
and a whisper,
"never let me go".

in your mind,
you want to protect me,
from myself,
all the degrading things i say,
that never have been seen through your eyes,
still i cant let them go.

in our past,
crimson tears,
of a lost forever,
bled through my skin,
everytime you touched me,
my body, my soul, my vulnerability.

in your, i love yous,
i find the dreams,
lost somewhere in my youth,
of an unconditional love,
and still i blame you,
when deep inside,
im the one with conditions,
ive placed upon myself,
and only you,
set me free.
