Lingering sentiments Pesky memories That arise from ashes A twisted phoenix Waiting for me To burn and mutilate me While screeching her name Reminding me of what I lost And at every crossroad Her ghost Beckons me to her ***** Chastising me for leaving But never offering remorse Celestial star hanging from heaven Lucid dreams unraveling Soft elusive creature I only wanted to love you Through carnal episodes Because that’s all I knew Never meant to break Or hurt you But when you left Took everything from me My innocence And my peace of mind I killed myself again and again Just to be with you Until there was nothing left But memories that evaporate Then come down on rainy days When you appear through The cracks in my mind and heart Flooding me with ice cold water To the point that I can’t breathe Because everything I had wanted Died the day that you left And now I pick up the pieces Wondering which ones are worth keeping Because I see no worth in me After the words you said to me And all that I have shouts at me That it would have been better Had it been you

Ode to Deja Vu
