A face so familiar, I know it as well as my own,

 

but a stranger's eyes are behind your smile.

 

No longer friend nor sister, a gaze hard as stone.

 

 

 

Fifteen years were gone, so quickly left behind.

 

Do you forget so easily, was I so insignificant?

 

Did you bury the knife, out of sight out of mind?

 

 

 

I wish I'd stop caring, wipe my mind of your name.

 

Sunlit days erase the memories,

 

but moonlight dreams replay your sneer the same.

 

 

 

There are no answers, they can't be compelled.

 

Is there any remorse in your icy heart?

 

Are your nights haunted too, by the dagger you held?

 

 

 

I hope your distractions won't let you ignore,

 

the betrayal, the bridges you burned,

 

a conscience growing louder, til' in an uproar. 

 

 

 

One day I'll forget.

 

I hope you don't.
