My Fault

Your influence and attitude 
intense at best rude
nasty blunt unflattering 
unaware without a clue

Treat me a slave or possession 
each day this way progressing 
heated behaviour with aggression 
giving orders I must press on

As though you’ve power and control 
you walk in front behind I stroll
words you speak always cold
stare expecting eyes scold 

A gradual change unwinds 
I’m different over time 
you question why
I say goodbye 

And you tell people I changed
became someone strange
different and deranged 
now keeping long range

Always blaming others
factually never you
went from being brothers
to someone I once knew
