But not now.. .

I was able to see the beauty
in the sadness of your eyes
But now I have lost the appreciation.

I was able to feign interest
in the mundane of things in life
but now I have stopped doing it.

I was able to feel the pride,
in wearing badges the world gave me
but now I have stopped wearing them.

I was able to hold up
the standards I imposed on my self.
But now I couldn't care less.

I was able to reciprocate
the warmth of your heart
but now I can only shrug it off.

I was able to touch
the desire and let go
but now I can hardly get enough.

I was able to agree
yet still hold my ground
but now I squirm at discord.

I was able to be correct

yet care

but now I care not to.

I was able to say
it back with no guilt
but now I have heard enough.

I was able to, but now..
