SO please gimme ur comments! thanx!-cec [bodytext] => I don’t know who you are anymore.
But I don’t know myself anymore either.
I see your face
But I don’t recognize you.
Just as I see an unfamiliar face in the mirror.
Each morning I try to convince myself who I am.
And each day I fail.
I forget myself when I try to forget you.
You were a part of me.
And as I try to forget your part,
I forget my own.

Forgetting Myself

I don’t know who you are anymore.
But I don’t know myself anymore either.
I see your face
But I don’t recognize you.
Just as I see an unfamiliar face in the mirror.
Each morning I try to convince myself who I am.
And each day I fail.
I forget myself when I try to forget you.
You were a part of me.
And as I try to forget your part,
I forget my own.

The idea of being so much a part of someone is a common beleif. You have captured well the other side of that coin...well done.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
