You are not a stain and I cannot rub you off of me,
You are not a wound and you will not heal,
You are not a scar and you will not show,
You are not a teardrop and I cannot wipe you away.
You are neither a memory I can erase,
Nor some picture I can set on fire.
You are the last sliver of hope and also the first,
You are the light irradiating my dark insides,
You are the foundation of the person I have become,
You are the reason I am not the person I once was.
I cannot escape you,
I cannot hate you,
You are not a stain or a scar or a tear or hope or even light,
You are me, I cannot change you, and I can just control you momentarily.
