I saw you

I saw you change. You lit up rooms. You joked. You had goals and this soul. I saw you change. Each day felt longer. Weeks progressed disaster. Denial made weaken. I felt hopeless. try, trying to help. I saw you change. I tried to stop it. I dumped rivers of change. Emptied my pockets for days and days. I saw you change. You emptied my pockets. You hide, and you cloud. I feel cold in your presence. Love is so demanding. I care, I try. trying to help. tears and money and heartache and yelling and fighting denial and therapy I SCREAM I pray I see you change. every day, You were this light shining bright. you were a friend. caring selfless I see you change. I know who you were. I don't know who you are. How do you let go of someone? People aren't memories they aren't the past. I see you change. Every day my heart crumbles. Your soul, your goals, your dreams, your aspirations you sold. to something so small. to a thing. to little unimportant things. You gave your soul to an object and gave your love away. I saw you change. I see you change. Change I can't take away.
