the demon of your memory

driving home from work going much too fast
desperate to escape the demon of your memory.
looking at the trees as they blur
screaming "NO"
scanning the road ahead
shouting "WHY, WHY, WHY"
to your face, a mirage in the way
like the carrot
always elusive and out of reach.
phantom hands caressing, teasing,
pinching, squeezing, thrusting
out of control just because they can
while claiming ownership where none exists.
body weakens as the onslaught
of your mouth begins to attack
kissing, nibbling, suckling.
perilously passing each vehicle
hindering these evasive maneuvers
as desire awakens
from years of hibernation
walls of protection crumble
icy facade a melting puddle.
go away, leave well enough alone
and don't trespass here again
your ghost is not welcome
to haunt this lifeform,
too much more living to do
without you.
