Your Eyes Still Closed Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

You left me fifty years ago
but I still write to you today

Feeling those things that never age
as my thoughts have turned to gray

You walked out never looking back
and left me standing there

My heart in pieces, the future gone
with no one left to care

New days have come, old days have gone
the seasons change and weave

But in every memory I see your face
—your eyes still closed to me
