Ficlets

Your face is a distant memory
Your words are not so profound
Your name no longer has meaning
There’s no flutter when you come around

All you are now is a shadow
A shadow of the sweet distant past
A hollow shell of the light you once were
And it seemed to have happened so fast

So the hours have vanished behind me
And the dreams have erased you away
So now when I see you walk over
I have absolutely nothing to say

Your new self has transformed so badly
No longer a luxury, but a danger
I know nothing of your distant swagger
You are nothing to me but a stranger
