Microscopic Imperfections

Put anyone under a microscope and you can see their weaknesses

Everything they do wrong; all the shattered bits and pieces

Nothing looks good when it’s inspected that close

You can see an almost perfect person’s faults

Yet you examine me under your microscope and depict my every weakness

Was I all you dreamed and hoped after you wrote your first thesis?

There’s no need to make any preconceptions

I’ve come with my own perception

Who are you to scrutinize this closely;

When our faults can be divided equally?

Who are you to scan for imperfections?

Who are you to offer corrections?

Who are you to judge me?

When you are the one with fallacy

Transparencies

Funny how our friendship was going to last forever

Came to that conclusion too soon for sure

Wanting it back but yet not trying to care

Turning my head but wanting to stare

Missing the way it was while seeing the way it is

Wanting to cry just because it was never going to be like this

Friends forever stuck like glue

400 miles away it sounded good to you

But face-to-face it’s not the same

Loss of conversation- we’re both to blame

There’s no more common ground

No more similarities found

Other priorities take up the hands of the clock

Another vision comes to view as the smaller hand slowly drops

Calling me on the phone from two states away

Is all it takes for our friendship to stay

But in the same area code once again

You have no time to call your friend

Let alone catch up on old times face to face

You never cease to put me in my place

Or where you think I should be for that matter

I’m better that what you think I am, but that doesn’t matter to you

You already have your mind set don’t you

I should have been in Sodom or Gomorrah and you in Enoch

You the perfect child, I –the easy trick

Mad at what I have become

You quickly drop the friendship and run

To quick for me to say what you wanted to go into your ears

Our friendship is stained by the salt of my tears
