Someone you used to be

It's been a while my friend
that I've seen your ailing soul
through my naked eyes

It's been a while since I've been in your distant thoughts,
Or kept you away like a sweet distraction.
I remember those days when I had held your heart in the hollow of my palms,
and breathed out the warmth of my words
to soothe your ailing soul

But of all the thing you could have grown used to,
or grow out of,
the worst that could be, is now what it is.

You found yourself a soul
just as lost as yours once was,
and you were so bewildered,
as if the reality check,
came to you as a blow.

You walked away, deep in regrets,
and remorse.
Not for what you were,
but for now, you had to face something
like yourself.

And who would know better than your own self,
what a miserable living it is,
to be someone like you used to be.
