Go
We agreed remember, it’s over
The flames died, the fire is dead
So why do you breath on the embers?
Litter my apartment with memories
Scatter your flotsam through the lonely rooms
~
I’m struggling to delete you from my life
But you’re not helping
Laundered pillows still carry your perfume
You continue to invade my dreams
Ignoring the Keep Out sign
~
Friends look at me with sadden eyes
Comfort me with platitudes
I don’t need this
Loosen the bonds, remove the chains
Just go woman
Go

Eh, this is a poem after my own heart. If we could not be besotted with their scents, even their presence when they are not there, we would finally get some rest over the matter.

~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~

I get a feeling you really don't want her to go despite trying to erase memories of her. So maybe you can still win her back.

You can say "go" all you want..

But she will never leave, even if you "check out"

"We (you) are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!"
