exorcism

I miss the way I was before you
Lips with a real smile
Unkissed, untouched by you
I love my eyes that hasn't looked into your eyes
I love my hands didn't hold by yours
I want to be cleansed from you

we all need cleansing, time to time. but, love can hurt as much as it can heal. this is powerfully expressed write. this feeling of trying to unbecome, unseen, undo what happened is truly needed to start back on a clean slate. writing is a great outlet to emotions and hope this one made you feel lighter. thanks for sharing. wish you well, always - Abhi

Love can hurt, missing love can hurt. Love is the height and depth of living, One can't escape, one doesn't want to.. living is the spine of people's existance - or can be, right or wrong. Your poetry is raw yet.. supremely frank. Fine writing.. sadness tinged with regret for having the pleasure you wanted - big BUT!

This poem powerfully captures the raw emotion of longing for one's former self before love left its mark. It speaks to the deep desire to reclaim innocence and purity after a relationship that has left a lasting emotional impact. Love here is portrayed not as a source of joy, but as something that alters and consumes, leaving the speaker yearning for a sense of cleansing and release. The intensity of the emotion reflects the profound effect love can have on one's identity and sense of self.

Some loves can take us over like a devil inhabiting our heart.

Sometimes we love the wrong person, it's okay. It's only makes us better.

feelings of disappointment, perhaps retribution of sorts, certainly not a positive circumstance…….worded perfectly……i feel as if i’m that other person taking the punishment….stark and vivid
well written
warmly, B

You express that feeling that so many of us have at that point of a relationship when we are still held by what we know is too strong emotion. Very clever in the way it is set up and worded. Lovely
