You are no Longer You

You are No longer You
By Richard Maxfield
6-10-2000

Your are not the same
It’s not for the better
If you even care
Read this letter

If I did not love you
I would walk away
Close my eyes
Have nothing to say 

What the drugs have done
If you could only see
For just a moment
If you were me

I know who you were
What you had
To see you now
Makes my heart sad

Alcohol and drugs
Friends they are not
Destroying you
All you’ve got

Endless parties
Nights with out sleep
Old age up on you
No longer creeps

Years now multiplied
Hard lines on your face
I long to rescue you
To a different place

You are no longer you
If you could only see
Just for a moment
You were me
