Upon hearing the news of your newly found devotion…

Nothing happened.

And then, joy trickled like the first spurts
of water from a hose, just brought out
after the cold of winter. I rejoiced,
for I believed I was no longer your haunt.

But no,
My vile core recovered memories,
unviewed for many years, pestering me
with the passion I once held for you,
like a photo of a grossly fat man, sans shirt,
that you don’t want to look at,
but you just have to.

I have nightmares.

They frighten me with the notion
that although you frequent my thoughts
she will wipe the shadows of me
from your memory.
