Letters to An Ex-Lover Anthology: Unable to Move, Unwilling to Stay

I am tormented by your memory.
It won't leave this place;
Like a ghost, your presence
Is unwelcome quintessence.

I lay my head on my pillow,
your smell, your face, your love, your hate,
I know I cannot escape.
I find it all in my dreamscape.

Please, I beg you, just tonight!
To leave me on my own,
Although I'm scared alone,
I'm more scared that I can't let go.

I hear the door, unlock, squeak and shut.
My heart jumps, Finally, you're home!
But then harsh, unforgiving reality
Mercilessly slams me back to this fatality.

I've only ever wanted you;
I just want YOU!
But you wouldn't give me your key.
You pushed me away, so I had to flee.

Struggling with Eros and Ire,
Who knows who will triumph.
I'm torn and recombinated like DNA
In a laboratory. It was all for you, Ray.

I'll be new, I'll transform.
Yes, we lost who we were.
And no, I'm better off alone.
Now help me. We must bury this bone.
