i was
someone
i don't recognize
i forgot
that i existed apart from you
forgot that
i once cared for nothing
more than me
'n lived for only me
forgot that
you made me into an us
so intertwined
i lost me
in my most needful hours
let myself
fall prey to the comfort
of your arms
forgot to care for myself
'n not only you
i became lost
in a caricature of my own self
hidden behind the booze
cigarettes, hair 'n clothes
i was no longer me
but in secret
i forgot who i was
what i wanted
what i needed
malnutrition
in your arms
'n i forgot
what love really was
and what we were trying to keep
i forgot and didn't care
i guess we both fucked up
in forgetting
