Poet's note: Where I used to be is a story of a person being eaten up by the bitterness of the past, still not wanting to let go. Even when the memories don’t come with colors anymore and everything that used to be falls apart, the character still stays, where it used to be.

MR KEITH YATES: This poem speaks, to me, of a truth about not being worthy of a loved one if the love does not keep away despair.
Keith Yates: I have never commented on a poem before but I have recently been drawn to poetry as ive written a couple.
If the you in this poem is his loved one, then the poem speaks a truth about not feeling worthy of a love that does not save you from despair. Or maybe that's just me.
