Pattern.

He was younger.
Similarities shocking.
I found his Marliyn pictures.
There was a flower,
The same I put in my hair.
He reminded me of you.
We listened to old records,
He played The Doors.
I found a poem you once sent me.
It wasn't from you but he had it.
Same words.
I paused.
Thinking,
This road I have been down before.
It felt all too familiar.
There was a darkness to him,
Seemingly attracted to it.
Why resist?
I drove down the road to meet him.
He even kissed me like you.
But better.
He couldn't resist me.
So why fight it?
We didn't.
I'm reminded of you still.
I wish you would go away forever.
Erased away like some washed up
Has been.
I don't think about you like I miss you,
I think of you with deep regret.
And now you continue to haunt me.
Only because he reminds me of you.
This time I'm not gonna let you.
