The Look
the abyss in your eyes
reflect the precious jewels
of glistening glow candle light
an casting eerie shadows on the wall
mirrored look of you so far away
to the touch you are so cool
embers red floating as
the life runs out of you
now fires out
long drought
your soul in doubt
mirrored look your life at bay
you lay there numb nothing to say
eyes void to all that is around
your frozen in your thoughts
what was the it ?
the it ?
that you tried so hard to find
mirrored look you who will never play
escape comes across your blank mind
even the family that left you behind
no creature comforts you so craved
to lay in your bed and to greet
the new dawns day
but for you the dusk always
ends the day
