Author's Commentary
Sometimes you wish people would leave your life,
and you try to get them out.
But they'll never leave your head.
It's a shitty deal.
I used to dread this month;
now I’m glad it’s here.
You leave this month;
I forgot what day.
January is young before me,
and I wish it was old, behind me.
I wish I could stop checking the drivers
in every small, silver car.
I wish I could not worry about
running into you at my haunts.
I wish I could not think I see you
in so many pretty girls walking.
I wish you would leave my fucking head,
so I can,
finally and wholeheartedly,
move forward,
like I need to.
