It’s the little things
That go unnoticed first.
I didn’t notice when
My dad got a haircut
My mom got new glasses?
I didn’t notice.
My friend bought a new dress.
Oh, I didn’t even realize.
But then the little things
Become bigger things.
My brother got a new car.
My sister got engaged.
My boyfriend switched schools.
And then they become
Really big things.
My dad had an affair.
My mom filed for divorce.
My best friend moved across the world.
My brother got put in prison.
My sister didn’t invite me to the wedding.
My boyfriend left me for someone else.
And quickly
My life is in ruins
Lying like a broken city
Scattered all over the ground
And I didn’t even notice
When all of this happened
Everything fell apart
Right in front of my eyes
And I didn't even notice.
