Marty King Poet Free verse

Feeling Incomplete While Lost In Thought

when i met you,
the art on the 
walls of you were 
bright and expressive
with statements and 
exclamations

after a while, age and 
change somehow soured
the sweetness that held
in the savoring

i became uncomfortable even
in my own discomfort around 
you

as a result so painstakingly
unfortunate, i had to make 
harsh choice to pack my life
up in the trunk of my car and
choose my own brand of change

now it is many moons and suns 
later and the thought of you popped
up like popcorn

i guess it was the lady in the discount
store whose buttercream skin and 
particular walk reminded me of other
lifetimes and you

something told me to scream out your 
name as our song started playing out of nowhere
ironically

yet something else held me back, and for the rest
of the day i feel incomplete while lost in thought
