Who Is She?

Who is she?

I see the woman in the picture

My stomach churns

The visual is strange

It's been so many years

Seeing how you have changed

Yet knowing you haven’t

Who is she?

Eyes have faded, smile more of a grimace

It pains me to see

The sag in your face

Swollen like a pufferfish

Barely recognizable

Who is she?

A shadow of a memory

Still flickering somehow

Through all the suffering you’ve endured

Through all the poison you’ve put in you

And still continue to

Who is she?

It makes my heart hurt to see

I truthfully cannot tell

She sort of looks like her

But faded and old

Broken and cold

Who is she?

I honestly don’t know.
