With a broom of kindness sweep away
The pain that now clouds my heart
A heart that so recently leapt with joy
At the thrill of his approach
Take a soft brush of mercy to my soul
And gently scrub off the memories of his face
The one that once put a sparkle in my eye
Steam-clean my mind of every trace of his scent
that used to make my head spin so dizzily
As I held him close to my heart
To keep from falling over in delight


I cannot love him now no not ever again
But I cannot erase him from my being
So tightly woven into my soul
Of my existence has he sown his love to me
My mind is a tempest that flings
All manner of thoughts against the walls
Of what little sanity I have left
How can I calm the storm of emotions
That tear at the core my identity
When everything I am aches at his exile
How do I end this torment and yet survive
