Your Eyes

YOUR EYES

Your eyes have gone from heat and desire
From flame and fire…

In your eyes I used to see warmth and concern
I knew it was for me you would burn…

Your eyes were quick to laugh and have fun
Such humor there, not to be out done…

But now – in your eyes – coolness dwells,
No wanting there – only contempt swells
As your gaze sweeps over me
No laughter seen, only coldness beams
Whenever our eyes meet,

In mine…
Only tears.
