What You Don't See

What You Don't See

This joy I seek, the smile you sow

In this memory I peek, into a time I know

Where your happiness was my well,

Your laughter my pail

With every day passed, I have yet to see you

Each sunrise granted, is a fire burning my eyes

Because what you don't see, is the pain within every lie

Day to day this body would grow strong,

Hour to hour this mind would find new possibilities 

Minute by minute, this heart would find joy in all things

Yet now, second by second, this soul strains to be hopeful

One day comes, with a bright morning sun

Another night comes, with dying edge of its glow

 All this time I can't believe,

But what you don't see, is I am still able to receive

A light, a key, a tunnel, an opportunity

This smile, this hope, this life, these hands

There was joy, there was promise, 

There was strength, there is ability

Each day was, every laugh became,

Any stumble will be, all I found is

In the only way I could survive, I learned

In the only way I could die, I forgave

Still what you don't see, that I lay before your sword

My life has never been the same

My mouth will always call on your name

My ears will resound with your voice

My heart shall ever be scarred and embedded

For the love you have thrown to disgrace

Shall never be sought to be regained

Should they be known as anything more than

Cancer of pure joy, let them be burned as its kin

For what you don't see, I forgive, but I shall not wish to forget

Who you were, who you are

Who you should become, 

I pray is a joy in my heart once again.

One day, I Pray, what you don't see,

You will know, I Loved You So
