There’s a light in her eyes
That she used to let shine
I basked in those rays
That once warmed my soul
The weight of the world
She could lift from my shoulders
With only a word
And a moment of time
Those days have long passed
That light shines no longer
All she lets me see now
Is a painful reminder
Of what I tried in vain
To cling to too tightly
It wasn’t mine to hang onto
And I’ll feel it no more
