Savoring the Past

You don’t have to act like you don’t know me We used to enjoy each others company And now you can’t stand the sight of me Well I’ve got news for you The feeling is completely mutual I don’t understand your thought process I guess there was too much excess I didn’t fit in to your plans of success So much for planning I suppose it wasn’t good timing The heart wants what it wants But fate had some say in the matter I guess it’s for the better You were a wild card Dealt by karma Just for fun Testing my levels of tolerance and patience What am I to do when someone like you Looks my way A stomach full of butterflies A heart running away from me My feelings pinned to my sleeve We see each other everyday Guess we broke the thermostat The icy looks we’ve shared I suppose I was a burden Just too much to bear So if you see me in the future Please, don’t stare Just glance my way And simply think of the memories we shared They were sweet and raw Something worth remembering

Wow, this strikes a familiar chord with me, it's like you have been where I have - a scary look into the mirror. I have a poem called "A Small Request", you may like it.
