Finished

I leave you behind, now
You are no longer good for me
as perhaps, you once were
for a moment
for a time
for a brief flash of time, once
here and there

I vanquish you
I excorsize you
I extract you
I remove you
I flush you out and away

I am removing your dancing ghost
from my life
which obscures my thoughts, dreams, and visions
which haunts my heart
which haunts my mind
which haunts me day after day, year after year

I am growing old
and tired
of plodding my life in circles
which only go back to you
and take me
absolutely
nowhere

nowhere

I am done being nowhere

I am done
giving my life
to you
