Changing For Others Poem by Dillon Gay

Watching her everyday I see something new
Not just the same old fine things, too
We've been separated for so long it's been
But even still I can't get my eyes off her, my sin

It's not the pain of my feelings being unrequited this time
Not the reason that she's no longer mine
Something else is tearing me apart
Slipping away, she's losing her heart

So unique she was in her actions
But for some reason she finds she can't go on that way
She loses her individuality more everyday
And I can't watch any longer

Such a sad, sad event for a person like her to change
She's lost herself becoming LESS deranged
I say without intention of insult
But I guess some beautiful girls have to fit in the mindless cult

Looking back, I figure that's why she shed me away
Otherwise she wouldn't be where she is today
Is it really worth it all?
To lose me, no one to hold onto when she falls

But I guess it doesn't matter much
She's not the same girl I fell in love with before
A trajedy of modern times, thinking without an open door
Consumed by social desire, she carved a path I refuse to follow

(I'm talking about the same girl in my poem, 'Seeing the EYES of Her Pain')
