Walking Away

you're drifting away
with every step ahead..
your hands by your side sway
and feet cheerfully tread..

you walk on without a thought
a thought to remember those left behind..
to whose lives happiness you'd brought
but there's Noone left now to remind..

remind them of the happy times
and you're too far to be felt..
and too far to see what in their eyes shines
is it the fake smile or the tears they wept..

we were on this together
before you suddenly took off..
we worked together we thought together
whether it was easy or tough ..

but you forgot all that
and went on with your own decision..
I never knew of it
till it came up in conversation..

it's hard to imagine such indifference
even though I knew you could be terse..
maybe it's at the peak of my tolerance
or maybe it could still get worse..

then you ask me what I decide
not knowing how much it would hurt..
how can my brain and heart in calmness reside
when, to you, our togetherness now means nothing more than dirt..
