funny how we can't remember what we did at school today
but we can remember the date, time, feeling
of our first cut
november 2016, 7:25 pm, a breath of fresh air.
funny how we can't remember our pet's birthday
but we can remember how long it took us
to get over that person
seven years and six months
funny how we can't remember where we put our keys
but we can remember the first person we loved
blonde-haired boy who still lives across the street
funny how we can't remember our first kiss
but we can remember our first heartbreak
kindergarten, five years old, her.
funny how we can't remember our parents' age
but we can remember what they were alike
before they—
funny how we can't remember the first song we ever heard
the first word we ever said
the first laugh we ever gave
but we can remember these hell beasts
that we call memories
funny how you can't remember your lover's face
but you can remember your demon's
