Lost Me

You left  and don't seem like you'll return
You left, and now I'm not me.
Left alone; left empty and desolate,
You abandoned me, you left me.
You left me in despair; in depression.
Should I be content with your decision?
Should I accept all that I am now
And stop seeking you?

You that is me; should I?
Am I suppose to leave the me I once was
And just accept the me that I am now?
The me that is in a depressive state.

I found you once, but you only resided
For a few moments.
Now I am unable to find you: permanently?
Do you wish not to be found?

I must say that I feel I should just leave. 
I should just stop searching and remain,
Remain in my current state.
Yes, that I'll do; remain I will.

If you wish, you can come and find me,
For I have abandoned my search
For the one who left, you: me.

If you cannot find me or wish not to,
I am content, I am fine with this me
The depressed and silent; I believe I'll keep.

Hi Lajorne, don't you just hate goodbyes - I like how you've brought out the feelings of despair and rejection and finally acceptance. Lovely free verse!

Thank you, and I had overlooked that part when I was submitting the poem. I write mainly free verse poems, not much of a rhymer.
