Hollow Eyes

What happened
To the fire that glimmers
at the back of your eyes?

Or the spark that flew
with each thought you entertained
and bounced around your mind

To that smile that means so many things
leaving me in confusion
of what you're going to do next

What happened
To your words like weapons
carefully chosen and potent

Your tears filled with angst
and how you are willing to fight
in order to save your world.

How your fingers become so strong
that I have become convinced
that you can do almost anything.

Years have passed and I feel like
I'm still calling out to the name
that no longer responds back.

A part of me feels like
A close friend of mine has died
And in her place

Hollow eyes.
