Because of Her

I look at you and I realize, I don't know you anymore.
Gaunt eyes, 
malicious lips, 
gnashing teeth, 
wicked heart.
The hollow shell of a memory, you are.
But that's all you are.
You can't hold my heart anymore, 
your hands are too bitterly frozen.
You can't make e smile anymore, 
your jokes are weak,
pathetic, 
cursed, 
vindictive.
You've disguised the beautiful rose in bushes of thorns,
and that rose is now a weed.
And the candle under the bushel is melted. 
Gone.
I was thinking about it today, 
I look at you and I realize,
I don't know you anymore.
Goodbye, stranger.
