The Curse of Memory

How my fan blows my long blinds at night

They reveal peeks of artificial light in waves

Their light on my wall looks like a set of piano keys carried by the wind

They sing me her lullabies

A synthesia of notes only heard in my unquiet mind


They drown out the loudest thoughts of myself

It could be worse, but nonetheless they are pesky, relentless flies

Hovering over the deadest parts of my brain

Like rotting, I hoard every evidence of the past I can

My younger self wilts beneath it all


I've gotten used to the broken record of remembering

The past feeds on my future in a parasitic frenzy

It eats up my life until I am exposed and raw

Until it is all I see
