We’re told to memorize And we do Defined details haunting our minds For eternal periods of time Did you memorize me? All of me These peculiar invisible wounds Curves and straight edges The beauty that lies in the distance Did you? We’ll rinse and repeat until defeat Until we figure out how to memorize How to remember Once it’s there, it keeps coming back We eventually forget But then, for seemingly long, brief moments We remember Like some twisted déjà vu Was I that to you?

We’re told to memorize And we do Defined details haunting our minds For eternal periods of time Did you memorize me? All of me These peculiar invisible wounds Curves and straight edges The beauty that lies in the distance Did you? We’ll rinse and repeat until defeat Until we figure out how to memorize How to remember Once it’s there, it keeps coming back We eventually forget But then, for seemingly long, brief moments We remember Like some twisted déjà vu Was I that to you?
Quick late night thoughts that can't seem to leave me alone.
