The Spark
there was something in your eyes
unexplainable
but there nonetheless
a light
a spark
there was so much life in you
hidden beneath the surface
only let out when you saw fit
when you smiled
but i saw something no one else did
you let your guard down
when you thought no one was looking
but i was looking
and i saw
the light
the spark
shining deep within
and i loved you
i loved everything about you
you let me see what no one else could
the secrets
the pain
and i hurt too
you tried to mask it
let no one in
but me
when i left
it was just you
just you
and
your pain
and no one else
i wasn''t as strong as you
the pain was too much
i left you
alone
and soon your smile
faded
your eyes
clouded
it wasn''t long before
the light
the spark
went out
and you were gone
and i still loved you
