Behind those eyes

When your tummy flutters and heart skips a beat

When your bones break and you scream in pain

When your lips draw back and big teeth show

When your heart breaks and tears fall

When your hands move slow and stroke my cheek

When your joints creak as age comes fast

When your mouth opens wide and moans sing out

When you feel the ground beneath your feet,

is it just wires in your head,

or is there a soul behind those eyes that I could meet?
