Fond

A girl is fond of, perhaps in love with, a gentleman who's seen more hardships than she could ever know. I suppose.

The faded light

that lies 'neath your eyes

once shone with truth and might.

I see that faded star,

but my heart still leaps,

still thrusts to flight.

 

Author's Note

The faded light ...eyes...popped into my head for the contest, and here is the product.

[Salvatore Buttaci]

Good! A suggestion: change "lays" to "lies" so the verb is grammatically correct in your line:
that lays 'neath your eyes

[Helena]

Oh so gorgeous! So much said in so little words.
