Its Painful Growing Apart

The days gather and pile together.
Each one more difficult than the last.
They are filled with every torturing emotion.
Throat tightened by angry words that wish to come out and cut you.
My eyes burn from the unshed tears I refuse
Everyday my smilies are harder to fake.
This acting taking a toll on me.
Noticeable by the aging lines on my face, the dark lifeless eyes that stare back.
I'm not the soul you once thought you knew.
Times change but people remain the same.
I'm the same, but I've grown.
Grown into the person you fear.
