YOU

You're eyes are barriers
which shut us out from your soul.
Your lips sing the most
sincere song of all.
The expression on your face
when the words leave your mouth
is unbearable to me.
The ease with which you run
and the ease with which you walk
are an uncommon quality.
The sweetness of your smile
and the deepness of your look
smolder down to my soul.
And leave me crying....
The attention you give
is filled with such candour.
Your eyes are an enigma
they're mysterious to a stranger.
For those of us who know you
and know what you deal with.
Your eyes reveal you.
Your pain and your sorrow
are a stunning reality,
and I want to help you.
You're burdened with a past
but then, so are we all,
when you think about it.
You're extraordinary....
And I don't think I'm wrong
to want to know you more.
You're extraordinary....
