Subliminal daggers.

Conversation used to come so easy,
If it didn't, we'd talk with no words,
It used to be so simple,
Now the silence hurts.

It used to be every day,
Now, just when needs be,
It used to be a piece of cake,
Now I can't tell her she means so much to me.

It used to be all fun and games,
Stupid talks about sod all,
Now it's all about the serious,
We hit the big brick wall.

We used to text just because we could,
Not because we had to.
And then that bloody stupid fight,
Because my own pain I couldn't see through.

She was and is the closest friend,
But like everything else, it'll take time.
She used to read my stuff because she loved it,
Now she just finds daggers between the lines.
