Poetry for A Friend

I look at her and a skeleton looks at me.1

I try to help, she screams "Let me be!"2

Her cheeks, once rosy, are pasty white,3

Her skin has shrunk out of sight.4

I hug her and I feel bones,5

Her body has no spheres, only cones.6

Her hair, once lush and long, like silk7

Has fallen out. 8

Her skin like milk9

Is translucent white10

And I feel like I can see11

Into her body12

Her veins standing out13

And all I want is to scream and shout.14

What happened to you? 15

Why did you change?16

Suddenly you are acting so strange.17

You're no longer the girl I knew. 18

How can I fix it? What did I do?19

I love you so much20

But you push me away.21

I hope and pray for you every day.22

I don't want to one morning get up to hear23

That you are no longer near.24

So stay strong, 25

And on the path.26


I know you can do it, I know you can try.27

I'll always be here, 28

To smile or to cry.
