Why are you here...in my mind
finally gone from my heart
too much effort involved with you
too much pain brought on by myself
still...is it right to hurt the tormentor
i just want you gone...not even history
history is remembered ..i want you gone
the fog that burns off before i awaken
the tree that fell in the woods
missing from a memory ....forgotten

to cause you pain is to accept that you still matter
and you do not...
the check is in the mail


wrote this several years ago...right after my divorce

Not sure if this was supposed to be humorous, but the last line made me laugh.

I liked this part:
