Too Far Gone
Her eyes shone like diamond pools,
Only in distant memories and dreams.
Once loving heart intensely beats,
Exploding, bursting at the seams.
The sweet voice of lullabies,
Ever vacant, ever hollow.
The sun always made her glow,
In despair it simply wallows.
Waves of time,
Of intuition.
Ever rarely,
In her vision.
Nerium bloomed,
In her bright smile.
Alone once more,
In exile.
Her eyes refused,
No longer shone.
That day I knew,
She was too far gone.
