I thought out of sight

was supposed to lead to out of mind

If so, why can’t I free up

the space that I once gave you

rent-free in my head?

Just hand over the metaphorical key

and leave me to forget you

Stop popping up from time to time

like a ghost trying to haunt me

I don’t need these thoughts

to torment me at random moments

when there’s no upside

You’ve probably long since forgotten

so why can’t I?
