Linger

I couldn't fight my thoughts of you,
My head pounded in retaliation...
Perhaps it was just a lapse in strength,
My mental blocks quick dysfunction.
I swallow the acid that starts to burn
Each time I accidentally think of you.

How long until this ghost will fade?
I'm trying to forgive, and forget,
And live what's left of the days
I was given... Without you.

I find it rather funny in a way,
How time steals all except for you...
All the doors and windows are sealed,
Yet you find a way to weasel inside.
My mind was much sharper prior to you,
Now I fear I've lost my control.

I'm forced to sink with the ship
That sailed away long ago...
Forced down under,
With skeletal nightmares.

My plans to co-exist with demons
Was too farfetched to even dream...
I've exhausted all plans A through Z,
Perhaps I'll surrender and let you intrude.
You can destroy all the sanity left within,
Then flee knowing I am finally finished.

Love's got to be the most painful form of torture there is . . . I think you know that well enough
