Something's Changed
Your face has lost complexion
Your eyes no longer glow
Your smile appears now waning
You heart has dimmed below
No longer is that twinkle
That shone there in your eyes
What happened, what had changed you
That leaves you paralyzed?
I’ve tried to chase then for you
The monsters there at bay
To bring you from the darkness
Into the lightened day
My hand’s extended outward
With love there left to hold
Yet nothing offered back from you
Which leaves me feeling cold
Now, stars exploding in the sky
As the earth ducks under trees
The mountains are taking cover
Oceans swallow the debris
The vast amount of space
That now exists out there
Is dead and soon forgotten
As we fall into despair
