you are close
even in my dreams I can feel you skirting the tree line
why do come back
to claim those bits you left in me

weeks ago the scars started to itch
bubbling in my blood
time bombs you left behind
banished not entitled

the closer you get I feel
your poison in my blood
bent on opening those wounds again
haven’t you done enough

can I bleed it out
now that it is close to the surface
let it run across the ground
finding you on the edge of dark
