My White Whale

Sometimes I still catch myself

Driving down your street

Where I sit with the engine idling,

Contemplating losing my keys

Somewhere in your unmowed lawn

But i guess it's just a phase

 

I keep wanting to run into you

In places we used to go

So I can tell you off

But I'm afraid that in that moment

There would be no cardboard shield

To hide behind,

No couch cushion fortress to spout from

And I'd have to settle

With ignoring you instead

 

The truth is I hate you more than Katy Perry

Because you're catchier and

Her words are far less hypnotizing

 

So consider this my cease and desist

I just hope that when I pull the sheets from over my eyes

Your image will be gone
