Black Eyed Susan Poet Free verse

Mrs You

I'm getting lost in you
I'm sinking deep
Pieces of me
Disentegrating
You hold me close
Day after day
I become what you want
While I fall away

I talk to you
I watch you listening
But don't get it
Something's missing
I look like me
But I've changed inside
I've conformed to your needs
And neglected mine

I'm a blurry copy
Controlled and subdued
I'm your wife
I'm Mrs. You

Audrey Haick April 28, 2011 at 11:42 AM Never get lost in anyone so that you lose yourself, Susan. If by chance you have to find yourself after it's a long walk through "hell". Love, Annalise

Carolyn Devonshire April 21, 2011 at 7:37 AM This is what some men seek -- a woman they can control or mold into someone else. Hope this hasn't really happened to you, Susan. It's happened to some friends and they are never happy after making changes to conform to someone else's idea of the "perfect woman." Well stated! I also see congratulations are in order. Way to go, dear. Love, Carolyn
