cross-eyed

once we were like a pair of eyes
sharing a vision
but over time your line of sight
wandered in some direction
contrary to mine
and our lovely face became cross-eyed
but who am i to make this clear to you?

the past is now a blur for you
i never thought i could be subject
to your selective memory
now you treat me as some fool
longing for the reflection of a younger face
it makes me wonder
if we were cross-eyed all the while
but who am i to make this clear to you?

i've walked for miles since our setting sun
many moons passed and victories won
my closure has come
the baggage built up has all been jettisoned
a new canvas begun
someday maybe we'll talk about things
who knows if you'll ever be able to grow
but, who am i to make it clear to you?
