Dear S
my dearest friend, my darling, my light
your poor eyes of wonder have turned to fright
your soul is heavy, made of bricks and glass
your eyes are empty; they're sunken and collapsed
you've turned from a sugars molasses to a coffees cold bitter taste
you're miserable, it makes me want to suffocate
When I think of the past's rich memories, of its child like wonder, my body aches.
you're words were sonnets written by angels, you're voice sounded of delicate harmonies
how you've strayed so far from your soul of honey
you carried your body with grace, you were light as a feather!
but now you've changed, how i wish it could have been better.
because you're words are burnt out and cracked, like the ashes from a cigar
your voice is that of an untuned guitar
how you were so beautiful, you caught onto each of my little tunes
now you won't dare to hum a sound- like it would give you a wound
you're my unfinished symphony.
About this poem
I wanted to show the pain of seeing someone loose themselves
