Lost light

As I stare into the blankness in his eyes,

I remember how those eyes used to glow

With such beauty that steals my breath away.

How they flicker like fire with a burning passion 

That never seem to fade.

How they shine like the brightest star

Way up in a place unknown.

How they froze me in place

And hold my entire being in that tiny moment

that feels like eternity.

I remember how the light suddenly fades, in those eyes

That used to entrap me with its great wonders and mysteries.

And how they turned cold and blank

As If staring right into the eyes of the dead.

As I stare into those eyes I see, 

A fading glimmer

A sad reminder

Of the man that used to be,

Transformed into

This stranger that stares at me.

This is really beautiful. I love the way its written and I definitely connected with it.
I did notice a tense issue in the first few lines but I don't really think things like that are as important as the emotion a piece evokes and you write incredibly. This is definitely being added to my favourites.
