Absent

Those eyes 
their empty look 
that hides 
what's inside 

Absent eyes 
Once so bright 
where have they 
lost their shine 

Where is your laughter 
who ever killed your smile 
nothing much is left but 
desperate screams and cries 

And that shadow 
of what used to be 
it's all changed now 
it's all gone now 
Day after day it's same 
awakening in an empty room 
inside these walls 
that isolate from it all 
pale as ice 
terrified 
Behind those blurry eyes 
love turns to hate and dies 
as I watch the fading figure 
I don't know anymore 
I feel disgust and fear 
when it looks me back 
from the mirror.
