Empty As the Hourglass Shatters

Empty as the hourglass shatters,  then falls
Upon the floor of love forevermore
To feel sad eyes weeping from eyelid walls
Close tight from love's dark realms of shades abused
When seeing shadows flee the open door
To fill the saddest eyes of love recused
These painful orbs will stare through shades of blue
With memories from love known once before
In its vivid detail when love was new
Now, broken glass, to cause the eyes to pour

Very well done, Frederic. This is a contest of Laura's I am really looking forward to trying and I see it really inspired great work from you. I find Constance's themes inspired much of my best work as well!
