The One I Used To Be Poem by Ruth Mess

I no longer remember
How I passed the day
When I had nothing to bawl about
And had so much to say

And I no longer remember
When 2am wasn't so scary
No bloodcurdling thought haunted
And my pillow wasn't soo soggy

Oh! you were so precious to me
The One I used to be

She was beautiful more than I am now
What shall I do? Get her back how?
She seems to be left somewhere behind
Somewhere down the race of life
I gotta get her back, I don't know where to find
I saw her succumb to death, I am what has survived
And oh! She was soo dear to me
The One I used to be

But I'm sure she shall be proud of me
If ever we meet someday somewhere ahead
As I have completed the race she left halfway dead
And maybe I'd just fall into her lap and cry
Why did you leave me, left me forlorn why?
And maybe her vision too shall blur
Afterall even though she is not me
I once was her

And oh! How I'd tell her
You were the only treasured possession to me
For You, you are the one I used to be
