In Your Eyes

I look upon your lifeless eyes,

Eyes deadened by years of abuse, bitterness and anger,

The world has taken more than a pound of flesh from you,

You had once shined with hope, ambitions and dreams but no more,

Now you are nothing more than a shadow,

My heart breaks,

I promise to love you, hold you and be by your side to the end of time,

When I look upon you face once more,

In those haunted eyes, there is a spark of life.
