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

This is one of my favorites. I plan to add a stanza every few years as I experience new chapters in my life. Thanks for commenting
