I Walk Away From Love
I want to erase all the messages on my phone that you left me
I want to brainwash every memory of you captured within me
I want to exhale the scent of your chest that fumed with your musk
I want to scrub away every touch of your hand that aroused me to thrust
I want to walk away from your love
How could such a hateful love have ever cared
From the start
How could such beguiling words have ever shared
My heart
Your love came in fast like a tornado turning me
Your charm sailed in like a midday blizzard blinding me
How savage was the accost of your undertaking
How ravishing was your passionate quest for indulgent lovemaking
Desperately I run away from your love
The masked man in a garment of white
A robe to behold but too short to site
Not opaque but made of vulnerable lace
When I look closely I see past your face
He had my picture on the wall
But when she was present he took it down
And ne’er answered my call
I was put away in his closet of clutter
Atop his attic of maybe tomorrow
I was kept in the dark about his hearts burrow
Why did he ravish my heart
Why did he knock from the start
His doors were not closed
I could feel the draft
Although he said not so
Loose ends untied
Entangled me, then made me cry
I fly, I run; I leap away from your love
For it has left me amiss a cold wet dove
I walk away from your love
