Vacant Eyes

Vacant eyes staring at me,
Trying hard to position me,
In a desolate vista, 
Of forgotten faces 
And faded memories.

No expression or recognition,
A difficult battle 
Has but been lost.
What harrowing pain, 
 Must accompany that loss.

The twinkle and shine
Have turned to rime,
Only vacant eyes,
Staring at me,
Staring at me.
