(un)willingly

ah, the clarity that comes from looking back
discarding memories that once brought joy
and now remind of what I lack
but lack so willingly

not wanting to bring you more pain
I keep my distance, try to stay
away, but feel that it is vain
in vain unwillingly

you try to cleverly disguise
your attempts to retake my life
in kind, oily words you sneak
sneak so willingly

I try to gently, push you, guide you
back to your side of this fence
the fence that both protects and traps you
traps so unwillingly

if I could somehow make this easier
mend your heart or soul or simply
erase this dark spot forever
I'd erase so willingly
