god shut the door
shut the door
shut
it

before

it all comes streaming 
back in like it belongs
like you belong here
in this room
this 
ours
yours
mine once upon a time
but it smells of you and 
every item remembers you
and talks to me:

"hey remember when
you lied to her about where
you were so you could stop by 
her favorite junk store and buy her
me? Remember how she picked me up
in the aisle and turned me in her hands like she already
owned me and had memories attached to me and you
knew right then and there you had to get me back to her.
you have to laugh at the irony."

goddamn it--
shut up.
shut
it all up 
in boxes
because christmas is over
and your tinsel is everywhere
and I'm cluttered, tangled
falling for you
over
and 
over...

someone please
give this room-- me
amnesia.

I love the stuttering, frustrated rhythm here :)
