In Her Stare

I see her watch other people
And observe their different lives
And I wonder if she's happy
With that faraway look in her eyes

I'm hoping she's at least content
Happy enough to just stay
But a part of me is dying inside
To think she dreams another way

I love her with all of my heart
And I know she does in return
But does that stop someone from leaving?
Will it drench that fire's burn?

I want to reach for her face
And turn it to look at mine
I want to get a deeper look
And see what's running through her mind

Do her dreams take her away
Will they become a reality
Only time will tell this outcome
And I feel it's taunting me

My stomach turns and twists
My forehead bears many lines
Of a pain that might yet come
And is showing promising signs

But still she's undecided
I see as her stare switches to me
I'm not sure how to feel
Since she leaves me uncertainty
