it should not end

ten years apart, you've grown so much.

i'm here you're there, do you even care?

facing my fears, holding back tears.

look at your face, i'm in a maze.

bring back old toys, all those simple joys.

secretive winks, finding the links.

inside those eyes, were they all lies?

what do you see? was it even me?

giving up on, mending our bond.

you don't even, have a reason.

please realize, i've had many cries.

countless farewells, ringing church bells.

condescension, indignation.

i feel it all, you still stand tall.

sorry's been given, yet guilt's still living.

no forgiveness, i deserve this.

been reflecting, mindsets shifting.

changing my view, see what i do.

hatred be gone, what's done is done.

sorry old friend, it should not end.
