You giggled and flaunted.

You were proud.

You were disgusting.

You were half the person you used to be-

half the person I remembered.

The places on your body where those memories were stored and kept- you had shed and disrobed them like so much clothing.

New clothes,

you can't fit into the old ones.

(half the person)

I wanted to reach out and touch where your body should have been

but it wasn't there anymore.

(half the person)

I used to stand in your shadow.

I cannot fit there anymore.

 

You lost half of who you were.

 

Give it back to me.
