I don't want to remember you anymore.

I want the essence of you to disappear in between the wrinkles of my brain.

Stashed thinly away like money or pictures in between pages of books for safe keeping and I hope to God that I don't pull out the wrong book on a rainy day.

I don't want to see your picture fall out that day,  
Or any day.

You say you want to drink it all away.

Bottom to top,

Bottles empty.

                                                Yet, when you sober up,
                          
                                  You'll
                                               pour
                                                         more
                                                                    alcoholic
                                                                                     thoughts

Down your brain.

                         I don't know if you can cure the alcohol poisoning
                                                 Soaked in your head.

I get to watch you drown even though I've taken the bottle away

Cause I can't take away the repetitive toxic songs you decide to play.

Self Love.

A plant inside of us all that we have to constantly remember to water

And grow with.
