I realize now that it was not
just the color of your eyes
that tied me to your being
midnight blue in a dim
horizon's morning glory

it was not just the birth of morning
but the very sunrise I was seeing

I gravitate towards your fragile
state of mind embracing
what was left behind
the secrets of your past
the essence of your untold story

They are unfolding now as you're
gazing into non judgemental eyes
the pain that you know is that you
have forsaken and forgotten yourself
behind all these silent lies

and you are gravitating towards
the embrace of compassion
trying to understand what broke
what part of your soul that was
haunted by such dispassion

your mind seeks fragmentary images
that was lost at a lonely sea
you seek the words to explain what
part of you that confused a longing
for solitude with the angry words
Let me be

I realize now that it was not
just the midnight in your eyes
that compelled me to stay
it was the awakening of souls
the gravitation towards hope
your grief in disguise
your longing for freedom
from agony's hurtful rope
