Her

Her.
She will always be there stealing your happiness.
Things she did, or said, or the way she looked.
Her.
Haunting your subconcious like the tick that secretly sucks out your lifeblood.
I can see it but you cannot.
Her.
Words she wrote about the life you lived have affected you too much.
I admit only here that I'm affected too.
Her.
Keeping your love away from me, even though it is rightfully mine.
-I- asked you.
-I- want you.
Not her.
But her.
Always there.
Always intruding.
Always invading.
Your life with her ending so many years ago.
A thousand miles and a thousand days can't seem to keep her touch away from you.
All I want right now is her gone forever and you and I together.
