Something important

But what
But what if
But what if you’ve come to twist my reasons around

What if your presence,
Your entrance,
Amounts to an exorcism
Of myself upon myself;

What if you turn me
Into someone, or something
I don’t recognize.

What if You
Crowds out Me;

My soul drifting offshore
Caught by a current
Too strong for her
To ever drift back to me.

Like distance,
In a cold universe,
Ever-expanding.

What if by letting you in
I’m letting in the world;
Come to spoil
Something important.
