You did nothing
to deserve my obsession.
You do not deserve
this level of control
over my heart
my hopes,
my dreams,
my time.
Long ago you were injected
so deep into my bloodstream.
Everytime I think I've gotten clean,
flushed you from my system,
the toxins multiply and spread.
I wish I could extract these feelings,
with scalpels
calipers
tweezers.
Pull them from the fibers of my being,
and burn them in the fire.
