I tried to rid myself of your presence,
but it was like ripping off a limb
and then realizing that the poison had already traveled in.
So I tore off the other places
until eventually, I was peeling your scent off with my skin
and your whispered words off with my lips.
There is nothing left for me to give.
I know that I am helpless now
that you are in my heart.
Interpret how you choose.
