Another Route

Casts the crazy phantom

An unbearable shadow

Summons a raging tantrum

When pride he must swallow



He’s an instant reflection

Cause he hunts me down

Not accepting rejection

He follows me around



Wherever I walk

I feel so uneasy

It’s like I’m being stalked

The thoughts are teasing



No room to breathe

I am asphyxiating

Life I try to lead

But a burden he’s creating



Why can’t he understand?

It’s just a simple no

But his heart’s in my hand

And it refuses to let go



I squeeze to all extents

And it wants to survive

I poke until its bent

But the feelings are still alive



His intent is vivacious

To me it’s excruciating

He’s truly tenacious

And that’s what I’m hating



If only I could disappear

Run away from all my troubles

But I am still here

Non-existent the doubles



So for now I just hope

That his ideas die out

If not I’ll run or elope

And take another route

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is about a time I felt smothered and suffocated by a guy. It's an uneasy feeling.
