Eyes as Black as Death

I watched you walk away
Your eyes were black and dead
I wondered what had happened
What thoughts went through your head?

I burned every minute of this life
But you never seemed to care
I watched you from afar
As you never noticed I was there

You never faltered, never asked for help
Never let me in, never let you out
Always racked with pain
Always left in doubt

You took the gun in hand
And sobbed one last breath
Your finger pulled the trigger
And you found release in death
