Remember

He said that I am the horizon.
He said that I was…
He said that…
He said…

My head was swimming.
I…
Don’t…
I don’t think…
I remember.

Why am I hollow?
Where is my center?
I was just aflame,
Why am I…
Just embers?

Did I consent,
Or did I surrender?

It doesn't matter.

You,
Still,
Just,
Entered.

My head was swimming,
I don’t remember.

You,
Still,
Just,
Took,
Me.

And scarred me forever.

You…
Drove…
Oh my god,
You were sober.

Was my consent…
Was it…
Just lost in the liquor?

I don’t know how many…
Do you have the number?

My head was swimming,
I don’t remember.

Whenever I try,
I just hear…
Thunder…

Was I a body,
Or was I a lover?
Was I on top,
Or was I just under?

You…
You said…
You said you remember…

You said that I asked,
And that you just…
Answered…

You said…
I am…
The horizon…
But I don’t remember.

Can you tell me again?
This time…
Maybe sweeter?

Do me this mercy,
So I don’t have to remember…
Remember that girl…
And what you took from her.

Oh I’m sorry,
Where are my manners?
I just need sleep…
It’s just the hangover…

Tell me you didn’t…
Where is my sweater?

If I am the horizon…

Why can’t I…

Remember?
