Lost

You are lost to me in your world of despair I reach out to comfort you- but you say 'I don't care' now but a shadow of the person I knew muttering, staring, broken and blue bottles are hidden and stashed in the trash I thought you were broke and had no more cash you used to be strong-as fit as a fiddle the way your behaving- so odd- what a riddle! clothes that are torn and ragged and your hair all astray you need to get sorted-starting today why wont you move- what am I to think? you just sit there staring with eyes that don't blink so you lost your job and I know your in ruin sort out your bills before they start suing watching you break is hurting so bad I keep thinking of the good times we once had I know now I have lost you friend-maybe for good left with a shadow where once a man stood I am waiting here friend to lend you a hand stop trying to bury your head in the sand shall I leave to wallow in self-pity and booze? is that really the path that you want to choose? there's really no option- I cant let you go on tomorrow you get help- before you are gone.

This says a lot: you used to be strong-as fit as a fiddle/the way your behaving- so odd- what a riddle!

thank you, its so hard to know what to say and do when someone you know so well suffers from problems such as these- I used to be a mental health nurse- but it does not make it any easier. thanks for your visit and comments.
