Forget you not

Forget you not… © Daran Pratt

How did the delight that was you,
Become the torture that is you?
I can’t give anymore.
It’s not that there is no more to give,
Far from it,
It’s that you’re not taking it,
And I have so much,
I am embarrassed

How did the you I remember
Become the you I only remember,
I can’t work it out.
One moment you were here in my bed,
In my life
The next you’re gone
From both
I am distressed.

How did the you that thought me amazing
Become the you that ceases to
Think of me at all.
How could it be that easy to forget?
What we had
To forget what we could
Have been
I am alone now.
This is more than I can take.
