redeemed

and just like that
it disappeared
the emotion
that has been dwelling
unwanted
in the center of my core
taking over my mind
invading my thoughts
making me
question my sanity and
bow my head in shame
the thought of you
the memory of you
the mere suggestion
of us

just like that
I have been released
from your tantalizing spell
your wicked stronghold
your luscious promises

just like that
I have been
redeemed
