You don't look like yourself anymore
Where is that person I used to know?
the person who laughed
like the earth would if it could
the person whose eyes
held all the colors of the rainbow
and sparkled like the pot of gold waiting at the end of it
the person who spoke
of happiness like it was always present
Now
your laugh is
dry, hollow and empty
Now
your eyes are
dark and red
Now
you speak of happiness like it's
always at one's fingertips
but never present
Who are you?
Where is the person I've always loved?

That's powerful and well written. I think we can all relate to seeing a stranger in the mirror.
