There Was a Time

There was a time when I could just speak to you
Be with you
Walk with you
Laugh with you 
And all of the while know it was true
Too far
Too blue
A melancholic view
Is my stance with you?
A new

For this time I have felt it creep past me
Hide me
Hurt me 
Blind me
Cut my support and drown me
Confused and unwinding
Were no longer talking
Adieu 

Can you please now try to show it?
Hold it
Throw it
Keep it
That which I once called friendship
Build it
And know it may seem
An irrelevant thing
So be it

But can I really blame you for this
Try this
Want this
Have this
Through all the frustration and bliss
A mist
Now flows from my face
A barreled disgrace
Can’t seem to find you
Can’t seem to find grace
The fragment of space 
Now begins the fast pace
An eternal race
When all I am longing is a genuine embrace. 
From You.
