escape

You are inescapable
Every corner I turn and day I awake
You are there
On my mind, in my heart
strangling my soul with
your existence
You are inescapable
I long for you
I long to forget you
I never want to live without you
I can’t live my life with you in it and not with me...

I get close where thoughts lapse,
lessen their intensity and I begin to escape
The grip you have on my heart
then you appear
in my life again
in my dreams again
then you appear and my heart fills up again
I feel safe again
I can breath again
and there you are, strangling my soul again
with your inescapable existence.
