(untitled)

I gazed, into her listless eyes
and saw the vacant haunting stare
the lilting echo of her cries
reverberates, though she's not there

I strained, to catch a fading glance
amidst the fogginess and haze
in hopes that faith maintained a chance
if only it could catch, her gaze

Still unable to decide upon a title

Welcome to Neopoet.
I like this little poem of yours.
As a title, "Gazing" comes to mind.
As a criticism, I would say that in my opinion your use of commas is a little off. For example

"I gazed, into her listless eyes"

I would do this

"I gazed
into her listless eyes"

which produces the same effect, but without punctuation that can cause a break in the cadence of your poem.

Keep writing, this is good.
