My eyes still search for you
You are there 
Somewhere in the distant horizon
Coursing your life
Without me

My eyes still become moist 
Reminiscing the moments we composed together
With words of love and hope

My eyes have retreated behind the bars
Realising the futility of waiting for you
For there was no us 
It was only you

You entered my life like a tornado 
Leaving a trail of embers of memories

The silence in my eyes
Echoes...
