In Your Eyes

I saw it in your eyes
When we met
For the last time
The nothing I have always feared
Gone was the passion
I had hoped to find
Writ to life by the words
You sent
Absent too was the warmth
We once shared
The gladness of seeing a well
Known soul
A meeting of old friends
No smile did you hold for me
Though we spoke, our words were empty
Without substance or meaning

Perhaps it was always thus
And I was simply too blind to see
The nothing In Your Eyes
