Your Eyes
 
As I stared into the vacuum
of your eyes
'twas then that I realized
you were no longer the person
I used to know.
It was time to go.
As I got ready to leave
I turned
to look at you
one last time.
I stared intently
trying so hard to see
the person
that you used to be.
It used to be
We
you and me.
But I slowly turned
and with eyes downcast
I walked away.
'Twas such a sad
sad day
to walk away.
To have to walk away
was the hardest thing
I've ever done.
