Fading

I knew it was finally over when I looked into your eyes and saw nothing more than yesterday's news. nothing different in the headlines, just crumpled yellow paper, faded words disintegrating between grainy images of the past. I knew it was finally over When your eyes once the windows to your soul became just a vacant camera lens with its dusty shutter drawn And our painted pictures of better days began to crackle and peel And fall from the walls melting into the dust. I knew it was finally over when I could watch you wander aimlessly away and feel nothing.
