you crept into me
quietly, and slowly,
not making a noise once.
and before i knew it
pieces of you were everywhere
and maybe that was your plan.
to plant pieces of you
that would consume me
the way that ivy covers a wall.
so that there would be no chance
of anything or anyone else
invading me, the way that you did
because even when i try to rid myself of you
and pull you from the roots
that you so deeply imbedded in me,
it is never enough.
tiny, almost invisible pieces of you
stay behind
and there’s silence for a while
until you begin to grow again,
invade me repeatedly,
hold every single thought hostage
tie my heart up so tightly,
that it never has the ability to beat
for anyone
but you.
