those memories
those sacred memories
of people who
once were so close to me
those who were once
the main people of my life
faded
disappeared into nothing
closing my eyes
i cannot see you
any of you
i squint
i squint so damn hard
nothing
not even a glimpse
oh, what i would do to
see you once again
to see the memories
we once shared
to hear your voice
to visualize your smile
oh, what i would do to
be able to have those memories
yet again
instead,
i get the memories of those
who caused me the most pain
who would do anything
to break my heart
instead,
i get to remember those
who forgot about me
in a flash
i get to remember the memories
of those who
never hesitated to
break my heart
why
why does my mind
have to work like this
why can't my mind
just block out those
that i never want to remember;
not those that i'd kill
to see again
those memories
those sacred memories
of people who
once were so close to me
those who were once
the main people of my life
those memories
are dead

Burning Down by Alex Warren
I understand this song is technically about the "Hype House" (that TikTok Viral sensation that occurred back in 2019 with all those huge TikTok creators). I understand that. I do. But, goddammit. How the hell did Alex Warren get ahold of my own private diary pages because how does he manage to know EXACTLY how I feel with every single song he releases?
