Consumption

I want you out of my head
You eat at me like a worm
Your memory has plagued me for years
The hurt consumes me
It shouldn't be this way
I should move on
But every now and then
You come into my head 
I dream of you
The way we used to be
I find myself wishing
For the life we could have had
If gets harder every day 
To push away the past
And so I repeat
I want you out of my head
Please stop consuming my brain
And my heart
