I can see the creases in your reflection

You know I know you know what that means

You've changed for her

It's as clear as your shattered glass hands

I can see the snake tendrils tightening themselves around your neck

You're struggling to breathe

Don't let her take your life away from you too

I want to see you laugh

I want to see your brilliant smile shine as we stroll above the freeway

Our quiet thoughts were somehow louder than the screaming traffic

But now they're choked into nothingness 

I want to hear your voice

Please say something

Your eyes talk

They whisper,

"I can't.

She's here."

Please come back

I can't stand this

Please don't change for her
