striving
I have been
to
drive myself away, from
your
numerous thoughts
your
numerous thoughts
clinging
tight under my skin
not
letting me breathe
not
letting me breathe
I
choke on our memories
they
refuse to fade
they
refuse to fade
and
you cascade inside me
wounding
me again
wounding
me again
yet,
it's driving me nearer
to
my past in you
