[I can't get ride of you.]
October 6, 2023
I can't get rid of you.
Your presence lingers in my smile.
You stick to me like peanut butter to the roof of my mouth.
My feelings haunt my conscience.
They taunt me.
You sent text messages that butter me up.
Now your name slips from my tongue,
and my eyes wander from the path of God.
You are a plastic fly trap with no off switch.
You were my Valentine romantic with a 2nd-grade crush
holding a red rose and a note in elementary handwriting.
I return to you like a boomerang you can't outrun.
