if only the memories werent so strongly attached to you
then i wont be haunted by them
i said goodbye forever to you again for the second time in a dream
we got to hang out again
i miss your presence and i dont miss it at all
well,
i only miss the surface
everything underneath drained me empty
the surface was easy to walk on
the surface was easy to see
nothing to trip on
it was easy to be
didnt have to wonder what was going on beneath
just enjoyed the time together
nothing deeper than teeth
sunken into soft convenience store foods
let go of my memories please
i see your hands still pulling at the sleeves of them
or are those my hands?
i know they will continue to haunt me if i dont detach from them
but they are my memories
they belong to me
i have the right to hold onto them
like how i hold onto thorny roses
and i bleed the exact same deep red as the petals
