Description
I need to remember your dramaticsrather than your body
the way you yelled
rather than the way you smiled
how you broke my heart
three times over-
but I still
wanted more
I need to remember this loneliness
this addiction
this I hate you
this worthlessness;
rather than the love
that saved my life and killed it again
I'll remember this warmth in my stomach
because I've stopped
remembering
the good things about you
I'll remember this now in the hopes
you will too
fuck you
for forgetting me
the one time
I left
fuck you
for making me believe
I'm worth
a damn
because if you were
half as smart
as you think
you are
you'd be telling me everything
I just said to you

the narrator’s anguish is fiery and sharp. this bruised soul, wishing to erase the little good of a former lover, is an enticing subject. if you haven’t already, take this one to the stage; I’m sure it’d blow people away
the title’s ironic contrast is a nice touch, too!
p.s. frightened rabbit’s “Keep Yourself Warm” came into mind when I read this
