Strangers (Poem)

I don't know,
When things started changing.

But I can see it in your eyes,
In the way you stare at the time.
As though you cannot wait,
To leave and never come back.

I can read it on your lips,
Of the lies and fake smiles.
As though you really mean,
Every word that you say.

What went wrong, I wonder.
When did it all start going down?

Are you going to erase me away,
Turning me into a memory,
That never existed?

Are you going to pretend,
Treating me as a stranger,
That we never knew each other?

You distance yourself,
With excuses and guilty downcast glances.
Turning into someone I once knew,
Yet no longer do.

Tell me,
You have a reason for doing this.
Please.
