I've been counting It's been roughly I'd say 64 days since I thought of you Let's just say this is my relapse Ha.. I mean when I think of it now I thought of you at least once daily during those 64 days To remember to not remember your face To remember to remind myself not to try to remember your voice To remember to remind myself that talking and thinking about you wouldn't bring you back I guess this was the ****** of my relapse on the negative scale But it's alright I'll start fresh at exactly midnight And I'll remember to remind myself not to remember the last relapse You would second guess my ability to remember and slip a little reminder in my phone and just to be safe you'd stick a note on the refrigerator door Your favorite food was leftovers Your reason was something poetic like you enjoyed the ability to make use of the forgotten scraps of a previous nights meal Stop. Reset. Reset why? Reset to remember to forget that when I think I hear your voice that it's just my mind playing tricks on me Reset to remember that staring at our picture won't open the vortex to **** me back in time Reset to forget you **** Reset you reset you reset you Reset y-**** Deep breath Separate myself Lick a finger and divide the pages stuck together This is a new page. I will pick up the pencil and write Day 1 of a clear head
This is a slam poem that I wrote, although short.Β Β It has an odd style to it and that's simply because it was a poem I created to be read out loud but I really love this piece because it's about a person whom I'm missing and in my mind was part of my coping process.
