Your Memory Haunts
Your memory has been haunting me
I wish you would just leave
Take your words and your love
Take your smile and your heart
And just go
You left but you still linger here
In my thoughts
In my mind
In my dreams
I love you but I can’t have you here any more
You were not good for me
You were so much more
And you were too much
And I was not enough
And we could never work
So just leave
You loved me dangerously
You overpowered me
No longer myself
But part of you
Under your control
Your control was not love
It was wicked and sick
Crushing who I was
To make me who you wanted
I was wrong, always wrong
Impatience with my ignorance
You tolerated me only momentarily
And then you forced me to submission
It was only your way, no other
To strangle with twisted love
To beat with deceitful words
Making me concede defeat
Your need to be right
Your need to control
Your need to take me
You need to take me over
You memory has been haunting me
I wish you would just leave
