Since I've Been Away
How could you change so much
in such a short while?
Your skin is whiter, your hair is lighter,
and you've lost your lovely smile.
What happened to you
while I was away?
Did a nasty shock
make you look this way?
You also seem much older,
and you've lost weight too.
At least your clothes fit better,
which they never used to do.
Are you as tired as you look,
your eyes look red and sore?
Your teeth are somehow different.
Is that blood upon the floor?
