Love how you kick things off. The first sentence really draws me in, and I think that's important to have.

Second paragraph is great stuff. Dynamic even.

"However, she began to change. The shift was strange, a widening of sorts. She expanded and in doing so, pushed me away."

You're saying an awful lot here in just three sentences. Maybe you should detail one or two quick, specific memories, which will SHOW the reader that the narrator was being pushed away?

Why 'greenish'? Many people regard the colour green as a symbol of vitality/life/prosperity/etc., but here things are lifeless and dead at the same time? It seems a bit contradictory to me.

"On all nights, I was the only being that spoke my new language."

LOVE this line.

So I'm favoriting this. It's some really great stuff. It actually reminds me of "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg for some reason. Just remember to never sacrifice content over style/back up conclusive thoughts with specific memories, and you'll be good.

That was probably the most beautiful thing I have ever read. I'm serious. That was amazing. And I'm sorry for your and your friends loss. I know what its like to loose someone close. It happened to me...OMG...a year ago next week. So yea. I'm glad if my poem helps you or your friend in any way. And thanks for the comment.
