I Saw You At Your Worst

I saw you from a distance 
with the lost of the activity of your limbs
you were talking to someone 
that wasn't even there 
I continued walking 
much to my surprise there you were turning the corner
coming in my direction
the you that I see today 
was not the you that I saw two weeks ago
I looked confused not knowing what to do
I held my composure 
I walked beside you
because you tampered with a drug 
that's killing by the millions
you do not look the same
I am surprised that you even knew your name
As you were talking 
I looked you in your eye 
it was as if the only thing that was keeping youon your feet
was GOD up above
I just didn't understand how something could destroy the mind 
spirit even if I tried
I walked beside you and I cried
