A Memoir of Me

This is about being in love with someone that does not love you in the same way. You were that open book but ultimately transform to a stonger you.

When you look at me
What is it that you exactly see?
Is it something more than a portrait of me?

When you hold me, do you hear me, can you feel me?
Where is it that you really want to be?
Do you see more than just ......
       The reflection of me ?

Do you LOVE me .....
        NEED me ....
    Could I be the one ?

I don't know...
What it is that you see
Besides the mere image of me.

Could I be your reflection?
Or is it just a reflection of me
Could I be that mirror that you see yourself in ?

Please, just let me be ...........

I CAN'T be what YOU want me to be
I now realize that 
I Never could and Never will be nothing more than

A Memoir of Me

This is a very nice piece. You have conveyed your feelings beautifully.
I like the format as well.
Very well done.

This is deep thought, almost like your talking to yourself and the "person" you intend to be the reader. Very beautiful ability you have to convey your feelings in to words, I admire it a lot..

Love
Me

:) Another great one. I love how in the next-to-last line you capitilized "Never", as to make it stand out, I assume. I'm not so sure I particularly love the word "memoir" in this poem. Here are the definitions I found on dictionary.com:
"An account of the personal experiences of an author;
An autobiography. Often used in the plural;
A biography or biographical sketch;
A report, especially on a scientific or scholarly topic;
memoirs-The report of the proceedings of a learned society."

See, I can see using it once as a metaphor or figuratively otherwise, but I think it's a little cheesy to repeat it; sometimes, too, it makes it seem like you don't know the exact meaning of the word... Idk. I might use the word "picture" or "portrait", but then again, I'm not sure exactly the effect you were going for. Someimes, people criticize my poetic decisions because they can't wrap their heads around my style. Maybe this is the case here. I love the poem, though. GREAT work! :)
