Stay gone

I don’t want you here

You come out of the shadows of my mind

Leaking from the box I keep locked

Your tendrils thread like a virus

Through my veins and seep into my bones

You’re not supposed to be here anymore

Crowding out my thoughts so I’ll miss you again

You make me remember our quiet sweetness

Until the poisoned pain leeches from my soul

You left

So why can’t you stay gone
