Who I was is Not who I am
You are not Me.
Perhaps at one time,
so long ago,
I was You.
But no longer.
Who I was is Not who I am
I am not You
You are not Me
and never again shall I be
So just go away and leave me.
Who I was is Not who I am
goodbye little girl
I miss you.

I think it's great! Very nice work. It did confuse me at first though, I had to read it a few times to really get it, and that intrigued me all the more:)

A very neat poem. I love how abstract it is, and the capitalisation of the 'n' for not really emphasizes it, Well done!
