i refuse to be complicit

 

i do not want you to be

my inspiration

I do not want you to be

ghost in my thoughts

i do not want you to be

presence in my dreams

presence in my life

i stopped painting

i stopped praying

i stopped dreaming

i stopped

let me drench you out of my body

my nerves, my brain, my skin

i refuse to be complicit 

i do not want you to be

reason

memory

cause
