I hear your voice next to me
But I feel distance in my heart
There is a ten-mile wall between us
Though we are only inches apart

You are always just beyond my reach
Not quite close enough for hands to touch
You are hardly two steps away from me
One is already too much

Became a different person
Transformed before my eyes
How could you have possibly changed
Into someone I do not recognize?

We grew into complete strangers
I watched our friendship collapse
When the foundation crumbled
It uncovered your hidden traps

All the betrayal I was once blind to
Suddenly made perfect ******* sense
Where it had been filled with lies
Stood a gigantic hole in your defense

You kept mistakes hidden
Couldn't bear to let the world see
So you put up a facade in form of a mask
Concealed the real you from all (including me)
And the worst part is knowing I'm just another person to you
