Love Poem: I Was Not Myself

Written by: Joseph Adler

I Was Not Myself

i was not myself
severed by the scissors 
of my ego
halved by have-knots
and sharp-tongued cleaves
heaving myself
into a state of dis-ease
abandoning Spirit
beleiving it was never there
lingering in lament
and disjointed intent
sarcastic excisions
of truths i once meant 
as if the words "i love you"
were already spent
searching for the Lover
and wondering 
where She went
when it was i who left Her
in this unholy descent.
