I saw the light
Disappear from
Your eyes,
You had become
A hollow shell
Living a zombie life
Filled with the
Meaningless
Daily rituals
And minutiae
Of a former life.
This modern world
Had sucked the
Living right out of you,
But you consumed,
Ate and drank,
Snorted cocaine
And bought
Designer shoes
As if there were
No tomorrow.
Yet it was all
Hollow and devoid
Of any meaning,
And your spirit had
Been extinguished
Long ago and
You were no
Longer there,
And I mourned
The woman that
I once loved,
Who was
Consumed
By a cold,
Cruel world.
