Dying Embers

Why can’t you look into his eyes
When you gaze deeply into mine?
It’s never pretty when you cry;
It’s never pretty…

I am confused by this adverse attraction
To watch the light in you die just a fraction
Every time…
I stay close by your side;
Take your warmth, take your pride;
I remain and I search for the answer…

I am a child born of love,
But the last embers are dying,
As I watch you softly crying
By the stove…

Why can’t you look into his eyes
When you gaze deeply into mine?
It’s never pretty when you cry;

It’s never pretty…
