Hatred you show to me

Hatred you show to me

The hatred oozes from your mouth,

What did I do, what caused this doubt?

Once, your words were warm, they shone,

Now they cut, I feel alone.

A wall has risen, thick and tall,

I reach, but you don’t reach at all.

The silence stings, it twists the knife,

Were we ever side by side in life?

I strain to hear what’s left unsaid,

But all I find is grief instead.

Tell me, is this where we end?

Or were you never quite my friend?

Your voice is sharp, your gaze is cold,

A stranger in the space we hold.

I search for warmth, a trace, a spark,

But only find the growing dark.

Did I misstep, did I misread?

Or was I just a thing you’d need?

A passing thought, a name erased,

A shadow lost without a trace.

What was good has ended now for me

No you and I, so I set you free.

You lip too far out of reach for me.

I can only say what must be must be.
