GAZE.

A gaze that looks upon

The teary eyes

Saying goodbyes 

To all the vows it took

For the young blood

That flowed in the veins

Of the fetus...


A gaze that knows...

That knows those eyes were blurred 

By all the failures it had seen 

And the grand failure

that was yet to come... 


But why is the gaze still on those eyes?

Why is still a hopeless hope left 

In those eyes,

In that body that died long ago. 


That gaze is a thing of beauty 

But a fling of heaviness

That crushes the tiny shoulders 

Which once were proudly straight.


Why is everything so baffling?

Why are the dreams crumbling?

Why is the gaze still on those eyes?


A gaze that looks upon

The teary eyes

Saying goodbyes 

To all the vows it took

For the young blood

That flowed in the veins

Of the fetus...
