You want me to remember
Everything you've ever said
While you sit there and pretend
Our issues only come from one end

I need you to remember
Everything you've ever said
I will not defend
Just because you said it instead

From January on through December
I warn I'm seeing red
The monsters under the bed
Fear the ones inside my head

I try to be clever
Jumping on and off the list of living dead
But deaths cousin sleeps adjacent to me in bed
I write my feelings in poems you've never read
...although
They only contain everything I've already said
