I don’t need a mnemonic device to remember you

You’re literally etched into the stone of my being

I couldn’t get rid of you if I tried

And believe me, I have, with all my might

Tried. To. Forget. You.

No priest could exorcise you from my soul

Nor surgeon excise you from my spirit

We are inextricably linked, now, forever

I have learned to grow around you

Like a tree around a stone.
