Why follow?

Why do you follow, when you no longer care?
What need is fulfilled by looking over your shoulder at me?
Are you waiting for absolution?

Or a line that I write that will substantiate your decisions?
It's not there, and it will not be found
in words strung together on my pages.

It is obvious to me that my subconscious
is holding on tightly..even if my conscious thoughts
say otherwise.
I am still looking for a way to make it stop
bringing you back to my dreams.
I hope to someday succeed.

But...I do not go looking for you.
I don't ask my mind to go on replay,
it seems to do that on it's own.

So..is it morbid curiosity or guilt
that keeps bringing you back?
Why follow? Your path is in a different direction,
your choices have already long been made.
