"Fail To See"

Words linger

Moments pause

I look upon the person before me

I wonder how these feelings have come to pass

That the face I see belongs to someone I use to know

Vision blurred

My eyes fail me

I am unable to pin point exactly where things changed

Like a lot of things in life

If its not suddenly...

Then its so gradual

You barely notice

Maybe its something I chose not to truly see

Never-the-less, I am found here

Searching for the proper action to take

Emotions are heavy

Bonds of friendship flex

They are about to show their true test of strength

My words fumble...

My hands can barely hold onto the change

Stronger labels such as hate need not apply

Though I am fully disappointment with you turning into everything you said you would never be..

Conversations have turned

You now talk at me

Instead of to me

And fail to see the difference there

As I remind you once again...

Acceptance is nothing without acknowledgment.
