Eyes that burnt

burnt for you

burnt for me

flames devoured everything

emotions, dreams

a vision of joy

of someone given

someone so special.

Eyes seared with pain

a blurred vision

of an opaque appearance

fleeting glimpses through falling

droplets from a river of sadness.

Those dreams melted

faded away with the passing of time

slipping slowly out of reach

outstretched fingers frantically grasping

for the life that would soon be a memory.

Those eyes burned

all hope diminished

no lies told.

The fire continued to flicker

the flame will never dim

the memories will forever glow

in the embers of time.
