Rent Due

It bothers me sometimes
when you mention her
more frequently lately
how she used you

I have tried to reassure you
that I am not her
nor do I have the same
intentions she did

I am not sure why
you are suddenly insecure with me
or with yourself

I have been faithful
and truthful about all things

You tell me she is nothing to you
but if she is nothing to you
then why is she in our relationship
even if only as a memory

but then again,
why are they in our relationship
as my memories haunt me too

is it because we still care for them
or is it we fear their behaviors
that we may find in each other

do you think it is time
we ask them all to move out
and concentrate on
me and you

if not
then we need to charge them rent
because they are occupying space
