I stopped looking at your pictures,
Because they reminded me of you.

I stopped listening to music,
Because it reminded me of you.

I stopped reading and writing poems,
Because they made me think of you.

I stopped everything that reminds me of you,
So why do you have to show up in my dreams the way you do?
Always coming back to stay,
Being mine forever.
Don't you know how much that hurts,
Waking up and crying because I know it's just a dream?
Please just leave me alone.
