I know you hurt me and at the moment I can't quite remember why or how because the way you're speaking is sitting heavy on my throat but as soon as I remember, I promise that day will be your reckoning.
Except..
I can only remember at night. When you're already asleep and I... don't want to be rude so I'll just.. wait.
until next time i need it and hopefully the examples of your mistreatment towards me will be exactly where I left them
But...
Somehow they seemed to have wandered off again.
Where they go? I'm not quite sure.
But it seems they slip away out of my mouth in silence as soon as I hear your tone and it frustrates the deepest parts of me that go searching for their hiding spot and I just feel like
I'm exactly all you say I am...
because what else am I?
If I can't even remember how we got here in the first place?
