Familiar stranger

by burningtears   Mar 20, 2008


Words unsaid, glances unrecognized
the boy i used to know, maybe even love
gone?
or maybe just hidden
tattered and broken, unnoticed
indifferent
slipping through the cracks
too far to grasp?
shattered
familiar stranger

eyes glazed over, wandering
silent tears shed behind closed doors
out of reach?
a downward spiral
nothing will ever be the same
cant be
unbearable silence, ignored
too far gone?
forgotten
familiar stranger

lesson learned, and then forgotten
absent conversations, formalities
forever?
never to go back
alone now
somewhere deep within
too much time?
i miss you
familiar stranger
