Self.

Looked into your eyes
and saw
My guilty pride
The tragic flaw
The innocence
I once embraced
Has shown it’s hidden 
Ugly face

Looked into your eyes
and felt
The grudges that
Were left undelt
The emptiness
That can’t be healed
Your love for me
Is now revealed

Look into your eyes
and see
How deceitful 
I’ll always be
The shadows dark
The night is still
This empty heart
I cannot fill

Look into your eyes
and feel
I realize now
My need real

I give my one
I give my all
Try to save myself
but fall

I’ve tried it all
and now I see
How much your love
Means to me
