Moonlight Eyes: of love and pain

She was head over heels in love with him,
This girl, a lonely soul with a bleeding heart,
And though he didn't know it,
Love, this reckless emotion, had taken him from the start,

When they were together, the stars would align,
She felt she could trust him, speak her own mind,
They both felt at home within one another's arms,
And with it lasted a friendship that could never unbind,

She had not told him how she felt,
Afraid of what would happen, afraid he'd leave,
It was all she could do just to sit back,
Just to watch him blow through the eaves,

He was the strongest man she'd ever met,
Both in mind, body, and soul,
But she could see behind that strength,
The mindless pain was taking a toll,

She couldn't help her own pain, though she wanted to,
Wanting to keep it away from him,
But she couldn't stop the need she felt,
And it hurt to make him hold that burden,

He lived in a hell, here on earth,
Forced to surrender each peace, each comfort,
He worked and he worked, he paid and he paid,
But life was unfair, it never rewards effort,

She wanted to help him, indeed she did,
She offered it to him, begged him to take what she had,
But he was relentless in his denial,
He tried to convince her he was all that is bad,

He tore himself down, built up many of walls,
And she wished to give him wings,
She didn't want him to fall,

She wanted to tell him, show him himself through her eyes,
She wanted him to bathe within the moonlight,
He was a gift, an angel, a true wonder,
She wanted to give him her own sight,

The story, as it was,
Is unfinished, yes indeed,
Will he ever give in, give in to her love?
Will her heart, ever, cease to bleed?
