For A Loved One

You let your mind be free and all at once everything was lucid,

You never cringed as everyone cried and begged you not to do this.

And now as you speak to me nothing makes sense and yet you seem happy,

I wish I could see when you come down, when all your elation is lacking.

Behind those sunglasses someone is lost but I’m not really sure that it’s you,

I haven’t been positive of your existence since that first time I saw you subdued.

    Intriguing and like any good poem seems to suggest a couple of different options. I’m seeing a loved one or friend on drugs, but that just may be from my experiences.

    Yeah, THX , that’s the message I’m getting to. I love how subtle your rhyme and rhythm is. Very nice indeed.
