Rent <br /> <br />I shall start charging, <br />Rent for the time, <br />That you spend, <br />Occupying my mind. <br /> <br />You’re always there, <br />Night and day, <br />I don’t recall, <br />Asking you to stay. <br /> <br />Wherever I go, <br />Whatever I do, <br />You are in my head, <br />I can’t get through. <br /> <br />A single minute, <br />Nor second on my own, <br />You’re like a monarch, <br />That sits on a throne. <br /> <br />Dictating what I feel, <br />Dictating how I think, <br />Further and further, <br />I seem to sink. <br /> <br />Into an abyss, <br />With you in my mind, <br />When will you leave? <br />I cannot seem to find. <br /> <br />A way to get you out, <br />And so I have to say, <br />Please pay me rent, <br />If you’re planning to stay.<br /><br />Aisha Sherazi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rent-2/
