Remember

All your memories crash home
And surround what you don't want to remember

SIX
They are a horror movie
Terrifying but you can't look away
They are the monster under the bed
And in the closet
And tapping on the window
They are the fear of monsters

SEVENTEEN
They are the slow songs
The what about love songs
They are the pick me ups and the fall apart songs
The dance and sing with all you've got songs
The put it on repeat and fall asleep songs
They are the static on the radio at 2am

TWENTY ONE
They are a mixed drink
An ounce of tequila madness
A dash of rum anxiety
And a wedge of lemon cynicism
You want it to stop
But you're three shots in with three more to go

You can't keep your memories from crashing home
And surrounding what you don't want to remember
