The glowing smiles fade into
scalding glares and tortured glances

Along the path that these lovers ventured
Gay glances of enjoyment that filled their eyes
now stained by the tongue of familiarity.

The nipping of heels
pecking of eyes
turning a lovely day
into quarrels
solved by pistols and blades

But along the dark and lonely road
a glance
starring back from the eternity of darkness

A glance
that shows love is still love
and brings you to your knees.

A broken man
stuck on his knees
staring back at that perfect glance
