watching your back

Finished and drained,
You had always been my constant to fall back on,

But lately something’s changed,
Your distance is growing,
And I can’t seem to bridge the gap.

My pleas fall on deaf ears,
You can’t be bothered to listen,
And I wonder how we got into this,

I wanna cry, scream and fix everything

Immediately,

Because I can’t function on this broken routine,
But you don’t

And I’m left gathering the pieces as you walk further away from me.

    Well, I think this more than fulfills my heartbreak quota for the week. But, I knew what I signed up for the moment I saw “watching your back” as the title – still, it hurts. Then again, the failure of those watching the backs of the ones they hold dear is that they never realize it’s not them who are in control… it’s the one who’s walking away.

    Choices, choices.
