the bystander - redux

she is dead to you
i heard her say
and watched carefully
as the words
fell from her lips
not quite sure of what to say
....i looked away
a bystander to my own self
i watched
with my head cocked to side
as the tears fell from my eyes
and the truth fell from my brain
because at that very moment
i knew......

she was right
