I Should Quit You

A poem inspired by the Blues of blind love.

I should quit you

Everything you were to me

But I couldn’t leave

As you wove a web of deceit

Remained I did

Consuming my very soul

Was the goal

Love became a burning fire

It scorched and blinded

To who you really were

A mask you wore

As you bored further into me

Kisses of poison

Yet sweet

Hugs of passion

Yet deadly

I lost me in you

No longer recognized

Who I used to be

False eyes

Displayed affection but

The mission was destroy

I couldn’t stay away for more than a day

Finally, I broke away

Nothing was left

But bad memories and baggage

It followed me like a ghost

My spirit played host

To the scars you left

I barely escaped death

But I finally quit you
