Fog

Looking around, I know there's no one here
Your eyes were so unique
Similar to mine

and I wither away each day
like a flower given too much attention 
but never any water 
I am hollowing from within 

These faces are just faces 
Beauty is just beauty
Without the context of 
all that's been and all that I dream will be 
It has no meaning
I look upon their faces I see my own 
Only when I look upon your face 
Do I see my soul
