Empty Eyes

I can no longer see the laughter...

                                             Love...

                                                        Life...

That once shown brilliantly in his eyes.

As the seconds...

                         Tick...

                               Away...

The image of happiness fades.

I live in such a lonely...

                                Little...

                                       World...

That only makes my sadness obvious.

So I'll slip...

              Into...

                      The shadows...

And hide from everything.

Because there is no longer that laughter...

                                                                Love...

                                                                         Life...

In his empty eyes.
