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.
