Watching You

It's interesting to me as I am watching you
To see changes in people I thought I knew
Part of the family; forgot-blood has been shed before
Standing beside me with feet turned toward the door
You say, "Friends until the end of life;"
Started early with, "the end of you &I."
Understand being a little gun shy;
Not walking away from friends you now deny.
To completely drop out of the blue, 
Is a hypocritical, cowardly thing to do.
Working so hard on showing a good name and word
Believed; until your true voice was overheard.
Perfect image with a perfect view;
Full of holes; 'Truth' is leaking out of you.
Cautious is One; Paranoid is Two-
Different points of the same old you.
