I watch as the expressionless mask
disappears from you face
Nothing there to hold it in its place
Your eyes begin to express,
feelings that have been pushed away
The ones you have repressed
My hand against your face
seems to make you understand our love, our intertwined fate

I wish that I could stay longer,
brush the tears and heartache away
but for now I must be content to know that I have helped

Hold on to me, dear one
for I will do all that I can
to save you from you numb, cold, prison
I'll offer you my hand
I will forever be by your side
for you I will always stand
