Poem

You live in my head 
Never paying a cent
I pray for the day you are evicted
 
And as much as I try to throw you out
You drowned me in your quicksand 
Pulling me under
So I can’t breathe 
Your way of reminding me 
That as badly as I may want it 
You’ll never leave

I squeeze my head with my hands 
hard enough that I leave red marks on my skin
Trying to remember the day I ever let you in

But I never did 
You forced your way in
You crushed my lungs 
And twisted the wires of my brain 
And changed the beat of my heart 
To distract me from your scheme
To give yourself just enough time 
To force yourself in

Like a predator stalking its prey
You created a trail to lure me in
That is what you are you know
A predator

Through the door and down the stairs 
I didn’t realize it was too late 
Until I saw no one else was there

You locked the door from the outside
And no matter how much I screamed 
And how much I cried 
Your cynical laugh haunted my ears 
Scared my brain 
And created my fears

And even when I sleep with the lamp on
The darkness is too potent for me to dream
Even with all the lights on 
it's not bright enough to blind me from the memories that haunt my head
I am still one of your hostages even when I go to bed
And when I wake up in the morning
And when I brush my teeth
And when I drive my car
No matter how long I drive
Deep down I know you are never far

You will always be right around the corner
Down the stairs
And through the door
Living rent-free in my head
And I will always be stuck down there
Screaming for the glorious day
Someone tells me you are daed
