Lifted Up

When I looked into those eyes

I found nothing but despair

No signs of hope

No desires, save one

Shaken by the emptiness,

I lifted you on my back

Then, as if looking in a dimly lit mirror

I faced my own despair

My own darkness

Born for the world to see

I cannot see the sun behind the clouds

But I know you believe

And lift me up
