Then... but no more

>> Friday, October 16, 2009

the feelings that fitted like a glove
had been shed, a long time back
but they returned
with you...
and now it is not just feelings
it is you
also.
feelings fit and you fill
completing me completely
reason then hurls itself out of the window
and all that's left is a need to be
and to un-be...to forget...
not that it is easy to forget feelings
that have stamped themselves on my mind
not that it is easy to be blind
and ignore the marks that you left on my skin...
not that it is easy to forget
how my body would quiver when all you did was look at me...
not that i was or i am
but you were and now you are not...

"but you were and now you are not"

i don't want to sound corny but that truly gave me chills

ditto "but you were and now you are not" - you've written this beautifully.
