he stared at me
with blank eyes
that once looked fondly at me
now they glare without feeling
saying he never loved me
contradicting the words he once used
and the blue I thought shined so sparklingly
is now so dull
totally unlike the summer sky I once compared it to
I'm glad I can't see my eyes
and I wish he couldn't either
they betray my weakness
my continuing love for him
and all those things
which were once present in his eyes too
are now strangely absent
or maybe I was just pretending to see them there
in the first place
