Eidetic flashbacks of
Running away from her
Every attempt to slough
Her off of my skin
Like exfoliation
The closer we got
The further away I wanted to be
Is it detest?
J’ai détesté du la mémoire
Wanting love and finding
Darkness oblique
No warning
For direction
Where is it coming from
Can’t put it out
I fought to get away
It gave me strength
It made us both
Naked and courageous
Almost dying from the pain
Drinking to sustain
Because I was at war
There was so much more to gain
I do not run from myself
I do not fight to crawl
Out of my own skin
Give me peace or
Give me death
Pushed to the limit
Therein I found a passageway
A holiday to discover
How to fight for
The same things
For myself
When I was trying to get away from
What I was becoming with you
