Vacant eyes staring at me,
Trying hard to position me,
In a desolate vista,
Of forgotten faces
And faded memories.
And faded memories.
No expression or recognition,
A difficult battle
Has but been lost.
Has but been lost.
What harrowing pain,
Must accompany that loss.
Must accompany that loss.
The twinkle and shine
Have turned to rime,
Only vacant eyes,
Staring at me,
Staring at me.
this one is so sad Induji
