A Liar- that's me.

I have come out
of the feeling I had
I have let go of the passion
with which I was clad.

I don't think of you
every morning when I get up
Nor do I tie my hair
the way you liked.

I don't cook
your preferred meals anymore
And I have abandoned
'that black dress' for sure.

I do not hum
your all-time-favourite songs
And our conversations
from my memory- are gone.

I have no idea
how funnily you smiled
And I am totally unaware
that your touch made me wild.

In my heart
the warmth of you is dead
I don't even notice
your absence from our bed.

You don't come across my mind
if I get wet in the rain
And trust me- I never
want to see you again.

A liar - that's me

Great little write! sincere display of honesty through irony! Reminds me of an old 80's song by Michael Mcdonald 'I KEEP FORGETTING WE'RE NOT IN LOVE ANYMORE' Keep up the good work! Wunderbar! Bonita j

Hello

Your poem struck a cord with me. My favorite lines are: I have come out of the feeling I had I have let go of the passion with which I was clad. Good job! Always, Cat

It might be an ironic lie

but it a well written one and totally not self indulgent. Moving on, or trying to. The last line is the strongest attempt at honesty. By the way, bloody well crafted verse, no crit from me. Cheers, Jess

Actually some of the credit goes to you too Jess :-) Although, I must say I was kind of 'happy' after reading what u wrote. Thanks once again, and please keep coming back- I am sure there is scope for a lot of improvement. Bonitaj and Cat, your encouraging words mean a lot. Thanks for the appreciation. Wishing you lots of satisfying writing. Cheers Sam.
