If you looked at me as he used to look, tears would spill from my horrified eyes as they saw visions of his stare.

If you held me as his arms used to hold, my body would shake with the anger of recalling his empty embrace.

If you spoke the words his lips used to speak, my mind would reel with the surpressed emotions he'd awoken.

It's impossible for you to be any less like him.
It's what I asked of you, what I wanted.

You're everything I could ever need, a perfection that echoes through my every thought.

Yet if you could bring back the feelings I used to own, the feelings only he could cause me to lose, perhaps I could find myself again..

       I'm not exatcly sure what this poem means.  I think it has to have somthing to do with the guy doing everything that the other guy didn't do and you remember him and what he did...am I close?  Good poem though.  I think that not understanding what they mean is the mystery of poetry...nicely done.

Thank you guys.. Nikki.. you're close. The poem reveals the confusion you're faced with when you have everything you want.. yet it's not enough. It's about the bond someone from your past can hold over you. I tried to show and not tell, adding to the mystery.. It may be a little too subjective.
