Veil

 

Your eyes glow with warmth and beauty

 
 yet so much pain
 my love
 take the world off your shoulders
 
I know the screams of the innocent keep you awake at night
 that visions of horrible things happening to those you love seep through your
thoughts and your dreams
 
My angel,
 Take solace
 somewhere you can be safe
 within you
 
Find a canopy
 a sanctuary

 
The fact that this hurts you is something I love about you
 but seeing you in this pain
 shoots me in my heart
 

Wake up from your horrible nightmare
 take it all day by day
 leave the anxiety behind
 
Unveil that beauty that permeates your eyes
 your soul
 
Honey,
 you are already a bright spot in everyone's eye
 it's time to shine in your true beauty
 
...I will be right there with you...
 ...don't be afraid...
