Once your eyes

used to tell me “I Love You”

but now they seem

so empty

and they break my heart.

I don’t know what or

who is to blame,

if it’s the bitter time

that passed sharply over us

or if I didn’t love you enough

with passion.

The only thing I know is that

I can’t bear it anymore

to see your eyes

dying painfully, slowly.
