Past the vacant eyes and her blank stare

Lies a Woman who was always there 

With her once understanding silence 

Now a mind in utter defiance 

She slips farther away 

The warm hugs 

That welcoming smile 

All the "I knows" 

Seem to be only distant memories 

Once Shared, now only my own 

She slips farther away 

The sun drenched lunches, on lazy afternoons 

Long card games, in her living room 

She slips farther away
