Work In Progress

The light in her eyes seems endless
But I know that light is not for me
I’m not the hero, not the savior
Not the man she needs me to be

She’s all I seem to see
And for a moment,
I’m where I’m meant to be

Now there’s no need to vent
Nothing near at all
I can be content
Yet I can’t help but fall

Once I built a wall
Around my heart
But then it had the gall
To tear itself apart
