Lost In Transition

The first day
I felt like an idiot
I couldn't remember
Anything
Which was more frustrating
Than a creamee
Sliding from its cone

It seemed like
I was an outcast
' didn't want to talk
' seemed to be
Pushing me away
It was unnerving

' hard tone
When ' spoke
Like ' just wanted me
No where near '

It was a little better
Day two
But not by much
Especially
The knowledge I gained
From ' friend

And now
I don't know
I guess
It was a little
Better
Today

But I can't say

I do miss the old one
What a joke
But maybe ' still there
And I'm too blind
To see
