record breaking amnesia,
don't remember how to love you,
screaming,
you aim for my face,
I strike for the gut,
where the misery
has nestled in disguise,
symptoms
come in binges,
don't think about
it stretching,
lasting,
coming back again,
anger,
pain,
hatred,
you are blood,
and I still can't pretend,
record breaking amnesia,
don't remember how to love you,
you provide strings
with your support,
meanings
checked at the door,
meaning,
you attach and consume
before we go forth,
and, I
just asked for help,
not a third hand to feed me,
not a list of nasty names,
not a knife in the back,
not another family member trying to bleed me,
honesty, clarity, hope:
record breaking amnesia,
don't remember how to love you

record breaking amnesia,
don't remember how to love you,
screaming,
you aim for my face,
I strike for the gut,
where the misery
has nestled in disguise,
symptoms
come in binges,
don't think about
it stretching,
lasting,
coming back again,
anger,
pain,
hatred,
you are blood,
and I still can't pretend,
record breaking amnesia,
don't remember how to love you,
you provide strings
with your support,
meanings
checked at the door,
meaning,
you attach and consume
before we go forth,
and, I
just asked for help,
not a third hand to feed me,
not a list of nasty names,
not a knife in the back,
not another family member trying to bleed me,
honesty, clarity, hope:
record breaking amnesia,
don't remember how to love you
