Fade Away

In the echoes of my mind,
I'm staring at your picture.
The corners yellow and tattered,
Your face is slowly fading.
I am waiting, hoping that the colour
Will return to your cheeks.
Your smile used to make
my heart sing and soar.
But now my heart sinks
As I see the love has vanished.
I strain to see the glimmer
That once was in your eyes.
Your fading eyes,
Your fading eyes.
