Into my life you staggered
like some teetering drunk in the night
I looked you, and tried to be an anonymous
Eventually one day we became friends

I liked you, almost as much as I love myself
This friendship ended, but you’re still here–
parading about naked in broad daylight
Even worse, lurking about as a ghost in my dreams

I built my self up, you tore me down
I gave you my best, But you never noticed.
I drew up separation agreements, time and time again
You never signed any of them :/

Why are you still here?(In my mind)
There’s nothing left to give you, or myself
What can I give you
that will make you go away, forever?

Even your silence draws life out of me
there is no peace as long as you’re here
No peace until I forget your name
No living until I’m dead

Not even death can extricate me
from waiting for you.
For somehow, you’ve embedded yourself
even in my own dark death wish
Beware, for I shall be watching you
as I sit in motionless silence
Without thinking, without doing
Why so serious?
