In My Eyes (2)

In my eyes. (2)

See yourself,
In side of me,
My thoughts show through my eyes,
Nothing more than you
for now.
I mask my face,
I close my eyes.
Still my love shows through.
Hopeless effort,
You say there's always hope.
I open my eyes.
You see yourself.
My belief in you

Now plain to see,
Held back no longer,
Pretences lost.
A love not shown for years,
Now burns until I'm blind
To all but you.
Now you believe in me

In your eyes I see myself
Your thoughts show through your eyes.
We lie back down
Just safe enough.
Vulnerability plain but ignored.
In the darkness of the bed
We lie still,
Happy in ourselves
Loving in each other.
