That's Why - Phillip J Rhoades - 2015

My love for you is a cancer and it only ever goes into remission. It's never cured. It's killing me and I cut it out but the diseased mass grows back. I try the chemicals, I pump my body full of poisons to kill the tumor you've left on my soul, but they break my body and wither my mind. And you? You're radioactive, you're my Chernobyl, and I can't go back, even if I miss the places that felt like home.
