Unknown
What I see on her face is unknown
a faraway stare with no emotion
as coldness drips from the eyes I've known
they unmask her heart's growing erosion
this day of crumbling comes with no tears
only a reality that's silent
as no one has spoken and no one hears
when treasured days of joy turn to lament
to leave me alone in shadows of dark
where my hands are cupped to hold an empty space
with a pain so deep it will leave a mark
in lonely nights I will never embrace
these hours of sorrow with pictures I own
will leave me with all the memories I've sown
