Why did you change?
You were great the way you were
I loved your bubbly laugh
And the way you
Flipped your hair
Why did you change?
We used to joke and laugh together
And you comforted me when I was depressed and gloomy
But now you're as cold was the wind on a wintry day
Never looking back or thinking about me
Why did you change?

If I wore prettier clothes
Would you like me?
If I wore makeup
And wore fancy clothes
Would you accept me?
Would you only have me if I was pretty?
Did what was inside matter?
Did you have to change me?
So I could be perfect?

I was there with you that day
You went to the doctor with the pain
I thought it would be ok
But we both cried
When the doctor
Said
That you had cancer
I was with you every step of the way
You had the treatment
But still day by day
You got weaker
And weaker
Until you couldn't  eat anymore
They said you were going to die
But I didn't believe it
Till the very last day
When you lay there in bed
Knowing what was going to happen
You hugged me one last time
And said I love you
I turned away from the bed
I cried for days on end
Never stopping
I still cry today
But it's hidden
Just like you
In my heart
