I don't know how to put this
My old friendships have disappeared
Now I feign happiness where at one time bliss appeared
I miss the years where Basketball & Goldeneye were my main concerns
and school was just a distraction because it was lame to learn
& I never truly applied the advice "never take it for granted"
Not to the people I knew, nor the breaks I was handed
sometimes fate leaves you stranded, in a painful, not uplifting display
the same way that my best friends sort of drifted away
And it's sad cuz I knew as it happened. i wasn't taken by surprise
Feeling like a spectator in my own life. Just making my goodbyes,
no hatred in my eyes, just reminiscence over the times missed
waking to the lies that the next day would be better & shaking a blind fist
cuz no new friends will replace them in my eyes, or heal the pain
..the pain caused because I'll never know if they feel the same
So old memories are sometimes held onto, sometimes shattered & despised
As I try to decide if I even mattered in their lives
& Think disturbing thoughts that never occur in dreams
Meeting new people. & hoping my life doesn't have recurring themes
all the while unwilling to let go of things past
I refuse to relinquish something which I can bring back
