Poem: Stay

There you are 

Showing up again


In the recesses of my mind


I am ashamed to admit


Of the corners I’ve tucked


Memories and moments 


Inside


Of feelings I don’t understand 


Yet you stroll back in


Taking up space


After leaving me to simmer


Once again


But with no moments of grace


You see


You’re never far


No


From the complexities of thought


You frolic freely between my brain folds


And nestle deep inside


If I were religious


I’d pray to forget


But I’m not


And I don’t


Wish to forget


Ignore


Or toss away


The thoughts of you


That made me stay
