From Me To You (Star Of Night - Lyrical) Poem by Don Subba

Fire, a fire burns in my mind.
Don't leave, my life, don't leave.
Brightness of eyes, my star of night,
don't take your light.
Tear open this chest of mine
perhaps the pictures in my heart,
when you see them, will change your mind.

Don't leave, my life
Don't leave, my life
My star of night
Don't take your light

Don't leave, my life
Don't leave, my life
See what I hide
See what I hide

See?
My pain falls with my tears,
but tears do not speak,
thoughts stay within the mind.
Love,
even my tears fail to speak.
They hit the floor,
they never reach your hand.

Don't leave, my life
Don't leave, my life
My star of night
Don't take your light

Don't leave, my life
Don't leave, my life
See what I hide
See what I hide

If you could look inside,
you'd find the bruised-up prayers.
If you could hold this heart,
you'd see me laid out there.
Tear open this chest of mine,
let the hidden pictures breathe.
When words won't make you stay,
let my silence plead.

Don't leave, my life
Don't leave, my life
My star of night
Don't take your light

Don't leave, my life
Don't leave, my life
See what I hide
See what I hide
