Letter to a Feeling

You’re not exactly what I’d call a friend

and I didn’t mean to invite you in again,

but you’ve been around for so long

that I’ve just come to accept your presence.

 

Now, somehow you forced your way in

and my chest is tearing itself in two

and all of these idiotic memories are

drilling themselves to the front of my thoughts.

 

And I don’t know why you think

that you can just barge right in unannounced,

but take this as a formal invitation

to kindly get the hell out of my life.
