There is no more suppressing, avoiding or denying your existence. I am scavenging for you. I am forming craters in my heart as I gently scrape you out.  One by one, I will find you.  I will dissect you piece by piece as I drain your core.  I will draw you out and expose you to the brightest of light. I will excavate you from my being. You’ve held my heart and soul captive for far too long and I demand them back. Today, I evict you from this heart by looking in.
