Memories

Memories is all i have
memories i never wanted
memories is all you gave to me
memories, what bad memories
memories of that night
memories of running away
memories of mom coming for me
memories of saying things you said you didn't mean
memories that made you go away
memories that made you leave
memories of mom saying you weren't coming back
memories of hope
memories of lies
memories of drinking
memories of drugs
memories of hate
memories of hitting
memories, memories, memories
now my new memories of
you coming back
you saying you love me
you wanting to start over again
what about me?
i don't want no memories of coming back
i don't want no memories of love
i don't want no memories of starting over
i don't want anymore memories!
