The Truth

What do you do when you can’t stop thinking 

What do you do when he continues to haunt you

What do you do when he is all you see

What do you do when all you want 

Is to set yourself free

I sit here staring at my phone  

Trying to look up for the memories I deleted 

Making sure from them I’ve fleeted 

Trying to forget how I begged and pleaded 

I prayed for things to normalise again

I’m trying hard to hop down from the memory train

I sit and wonder at times what happened 

What did I do 

That I lost myself to you

You chased me down from my home

Now I know not what to call my own 

I sit and wonder at times 

Do you miss me

The way I do

Do you think of me at impulse

When you see and feel the pulse

Do you ever wish for things to happen otherwise

Do you ever wish to see me again

Do you wish to hold me tight

Because though not wanting it

That’s all I wish for

Before my ashes are dumped down the drain

Because that’s all I wish for 

That was the truth behind my fight
