you changed

we used to hold the stars together

chanting love to the sky

now you've turned all bitter

making rain feel like cries

the summer dew gently held our blanket

picnics under the forever sky

now you breathe harder

coughing smoke into our kisses

and screaming that you've arrived

knocking pebbles at my window

singing to me late at night

now you say you're too tired to love

that it's too difficult to rise

in church I saw you in the pews

speaking to your special God

now I hear your deepest prayers

asking for enough money for another pack

you used to whisper that you loved me

now your silence speaks as to why

the money that I used to have

was slowly leaking

giving reason to help you

no asking why

your empty loving melts into my heart

you can no longer look into my eyes
