You're a stain
Saturated in my clothes
But I can't even think to
Throw you out

You're the soot
In my chimney
Hard to wash away
Just like your memorized kisses

You are the crab grass
In my yard
Invasive and dominant
You won't leave
I can't kill you

You're the frost
on my window shield
I can scrape and scrape
But you'll keep coming back

The next morning
Won't you stop coming
Back? Leave!
Just leave!

Stay out of mind!
Get out of my heart!
Stop slicing my skin
With your past touch

Let my mind rot
The memorizes of you
Flooding like an over filled
Dam that can take no more

Empty my mind
Like a mold filled
With sand then
Suddenly dumped

Stop breaking me.
Leave.
