Leave Me Be

I know that you hate me.
I know that I hate you.
But please,
One small favor.
Quit invading my hopes.
Quit invading my thoughts.
Quit invading my life.

But mostly, old friend,
Quit invading my heart.

The one place that you truly hurt,
The one thing that aches for you,
The one thing that longs to hear your voice.

I want you gone,
Stricken with force,
Banned forever and eternity.

Leave me be!
You said you would!
After all that pain you caused,
After all those tears you allowed to flow,
You said it would stop!

Now in this solitude,
I now know,
This endless pain will only stop,
If my heart complies to stop.
Then everything would stop.
And I would be at peace.
