The world has expanded to over seven billion souls
Yet, my world shrinks exponentially
Not one, not even the person in the mirror
Is fond of me
When your intentions are revealed to those
That no longer align with your lifestyle
You’d be surprised how fast they disappear
Vanishing like burglars in the night
Escaping with a piece of your heart
Until there’s nothing left
Those thieves will leave you with an empty house
Empty heart, Empty Soul
One day you’ll pass them on the street
And they won’t remember you any longer
I’ll be the stranger they never knew
All those moments in time erased
Converstations lost in bottles at sea
Years of experiences gone forever
But it wouldn’t have be me that changed
it would have been them
Lack of knowledge
Lack of understanding
Lack of faith
That my appearance
Defines me
Should I achieve success and fortune
Would you dare remember this stranger then?
I hope not because my heart would be renewed
My vigor restored
And my memories forever tainted
You will be the stranger
That never listened when I needed you most
That left me in rain and stole my umbrella
The same person who watched as my ship sank
And did nothing.
