Love Conquers - Death by D.C. Bussey

I look in your eyes
Tears frozen in place
Glass windows of pain
Through which I see your face

You say you feel nothing
That numbness is all there is
And I cry the tears you are unable
You deserved better than this

For you were born strong
Set apart for great things
To soar high on dawn's wings
But this life is so very cruel
It took you and broke you
Leaving you in pieces so few

And all I have to say is this:

I am sorry
For the things I didn't do
I stood in my comfort
As you fell into the blue

Like watching frost bite
The summer blades
I was still and quiet
While life seeped from your face

I ignored your silent cries
Looking instead at my own eyes
I was more important to me
I didn't have time to see your eyes

I was a fool! And selfish at that
I didn't hurt you
But neither did I help

Can I ever forgive myself?

I let my life get in the way
I never stopped to think of you
But it will be different
From this day forward

For I have seen true Love
It is not from myself or anyone else
But Love is from Love's creator
And I want you to meet him

Crimson Tears set me free
They gave me control
O my life and soul
Those tears dealt with the numb
I can feel my heart beating
His red paid my pains price

I let you down once
But don't count on that again
I do love you
As Love loves me

And you know you no longer
Need your own red dose
It is but a lie
As firm as a wind's sigh

I believe in you
No believe me
Open your eyes
And Live you'll see

You will feel something
For Love is greater than pain
It conquers the numb and nothing
And leaves us alive
