Him

I wish I could walk away from him
this very hour
this very second
wearing only what I have on
hearing nothing now
having nothing then on

I wish he wouldn't follow
but I know his nature
his feet through the grass
like flowers waking
my breath of fresh air
that you keep taking

He shadows my heart
till I shake him loose
yet he is my living
he is my proof

I wish I never heard his name
tasted his food
knew his mind

I wish I could wash his scent from me
take a knife to the clock
take the gain and the loss

I wished the mirror never looked back
I hate his reflection
I hate our connection

I wish a day did pass
when his boots on tile
didn't sound like music

that I hadn't let him alone
hadn't left him so tragic

that his kisses on my mouth
didn't taste pure like water

I wonder what ever became of him
