"THE VACUUM OF 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.
