Degenerating Memory

I can’t remember

Your face

Or your smile

Or is it just me?

Forging forgetting

Loving hurting

Leading to brainwash

Hit your head on a wall

To forget

Over and over

Until it’s all--

No one can even tell you

It’s all in your mind--

I mean--

Hurt is an aphrodisiac

Can’t get enough

Pain is the shadow of love

Hiding in the dark

Poison in the pills

Valium laced in venom

And love?

I don’t remember it
