Guilty as charged...
Ok, the guilt's getting to me..nibbling at me...no, gnawing at me...
I've committed a cardinal sin...
Somewhere along the vestiges of time
Somewhere along the blurred boundaries of night & day...
I've grown apart from my parents..yep, those two beings who brought me up
How'd it happen? The usual...less time spent with them..talking less..yada yada
Guess the thought has occurred to me before
But busy-ness & tiredness were good excuses to delude the mind
Into thinking that all was still well...that all was still good

What's this syndrome called?
Escapism? Delusion? Taking things for Granted? Self-denial? Pure Laziness?
Think it's all of the above rolled into one huge conglomerate of sin
Don't know when things got to a point
When irritation smacks right into me whenever we speak to each other
The only comfort I have is that well..at least I can still make amends..
Guess I have to put in the efforts...
Yeah, maybe I can bring them out for a dinner treat or something...hmm...
