Forgiveness

How do I forgive you, 
when you used to consume me
My first and last breath
used to be wrapped up in your chest

How do I forgive you
when you don't know what you've done
6 years down the line
and not a single apology, none

How do I forgive you
for haunting my dreams,
some sort of voodoo,
something of that it seems

I wake and I'm fine,
but night is when you creep
into my head and my heart 
now, how do I sleep?

I once fell too deep
and it's so deeply imbedded
some code, malfunction 
and my soul shed
