One Lobotomy, Please!

I can be myself around you
No effort needed
No fear of judgement
Just easy, relaxing quality time
 
You consume my thoughts, relentlessly
You’re on my mind when I go to bed
Waiting at the doors of my mind upon waking
Living in my head rent free
 
Looking around while I drive
I see the spots we frequented
The memories are a pleasant notion
Until they sour and leave me feeling empty
 
I just want to forget!
But I can’t forget; I’m a prisoner
Stuck in a cell with nothing else to think about
No respite from this hellish reality
 
I thought it was just infatuation
Over after some time
—I couldn’t be more wrong
Forced to endure many months of unwavering attraction
 
No mistaking it now, this must be love!
One-sided, unrequited love
Conscious, self-inflicted torture
Oh God! When will it end?
