A piece of luggage

Statue

That look was present in your eyes

Carved in white where silence lies

A mannequin of love and grief

A touch once true, a false belief

The shape formed their winter skin

Perfect eyes with no life within

Blank expressions that saw through you

Their vacant eyes became untrue

They stand pale and bare

Empty and plain beneath the air

It stares through time still it remains

Devoted still to sculpted pain

The veil was raised as your eyes appeared

Each blink brought a tear, so he sought you near

Your beauty blinded the silence that grew

It broke the life that still sees you
