Are you still there?

I see you sitting in your chair
I ask myself : Are you still there?
I have known you once so strong
Seeing you now looks so wrong
In your face I see marks of pain
Was your long journey in vain?
Why can’t you smile no more?
I can’t open your closed door
Looking in your empty eyes
Once so alive and wise
Only a body in a chair I see today
The person I once knew, went away …
