Friends in the yore,
Strangers today.
Peals of laughter before,
Smirks galore today.
Tokens of care & appreciation before,
Only unreciprocated messages today.
Reassurance and camaraderie before,
A cold temperament today.
Promises before;
All broken today.
Mirage before, Reckoning today?
Hope and faith before,
Skepticism today.
A shining light before,
Dreary shadows today.
An alibi before,
Incommunicado today.
Only you before, some of me today!
