unrecognizable

to see someone you love
turn into someone you barely recognize
leaves you at your wit's end
the ordeal takes its toll

to see someone you love
turn into something you don't recognize
means you can no longer pretend
that things will go back to normal

these are the times now
when the past seemed so pleasant
and the future looks to be foul
you can close your eyes all you want
driving down this narrow road
but you'll only be getting yourself killed
and interred in the cemetery up the hill
feeling like you're part of a procession
leading there
that has yet to manifest
awaiting its honorary guest
and you'll see no rest until then
when

you see someone you love
turning into something you don't recognize
transforming before your eyes
teetering on time and jagged digital lines
depending on what is ultimately
sending them to their grave
