Lingering
I know feelings come and go
so why won’t this just go
and stay gone?
Much worse than a fly I can’t swat,
this is more like a nuclear bomber
obliterating my heart, my soul
as thoughts of you
try to push through every crack
in the door, in every window
like a burglar in the night
trying to steal my sanity.
So why can’t I just erase them,
clean them with some good bleach
and a little elbow grease?
Is it because they are a part of me?
Am I trying to amputate a limb
or maybe decapitate myself?
At this point I don’t care.
I just want it to end.
