“The Love Behind My Eyes” examines the lyrical poetry behind the fading of love. The violent ending of forbidden passions, where lovers fall with gaping eyes, staring at the gaze of their intimate murderer that once gave them reason to live.

“Demise from Love, is unlawful with the Almighty
But you, slayer, allow it with cruelty”

“The love behind my eyes,
Bequeathed by you know whom Is all you can see.
That love is my demise
Withering me to this For all eyes to see”
