That cold, unfeeling being
surrounds you with his towering weight;
corrupting you, mind and soul.
My hand was placed in yours;
Soon after, he took it in his.
Once bright blue eyes have lost their luster
The grey's overcast all else.

We both cannot have you;
his grip is far too tight.
My calls into your darkness, muffled,
by the creature covering your ears.

I sorrow, seeing you so lifeless,
The crumbling shadow of you who once courted me.
Not for long, but such time will be precious.
I sorrow, seeing you in such pain,
Wishing my kiss could aid.

What a brave soul you are,
Knowing this battle is best fought alone.
What kindness and wisdom is kindled
Knowing I would be left gasping in it's wake.

With a sigh, a nod, a hug, I say:
So long, blue eyes.
Though we may not meet again,
Takes these words that I offer.
When that shade's gone and done with you,
Shine, and keep on shining.
