Distance Poem by Jan E Smith

I don't know why we've grown apart,
you may ask why I care.

We seemed so close right at the start,
our friendship we did share.

Life's ups and downs and in betweens,
the progress that we've made.

Like actors in so many scenes,
our memories start to fade.

What caused you to be distant now?
My calls you don't return.

I'd fix it if you told me how,
the lesson I would learn.

So futile is this poem I write,
it falls on your deaf ear.

It's time for me to see the light,
my voice you do not hear.
