Whatever happened to the boys of my youth
Specifically you, if I’m telling the truth
I can accept the changes that Life and aging brings
Not so much the difference in fundamental things
From conversations that went well into the night
Sharing ideas and theories like a burning light
To a taciturn coldness and gruff demeanour
You wear ill manners just like it’s your armour
The hardest thing of all that I have to swallow
Is how the change in you leaves me feeling hollow
You inspired me to be the very best I can
Yet you’ve become a jaded, middle-aged man
Closed off by arrogance or misconception
Rebuffing friendship or the mildest affection
Once omnipotent in your positive influence on me
Now just impotent and cynical is all that I see
