welcome

welcome to your head,
where your brightest memories and your darkest pasts reside.
let me open the gate for you.
to your left is your most recent happy memory,
the one with you kissing in the rain.

your lips are warm but your hands aren’t,
so you grab the back of his head and pull him in closer.
he slides his hands in the back of your shirt
and you shiver because of the temperature contrast.
nonetheless, you stay in the same position
for a couple minutes but time seems to
slow
as you take another breath in.

now moving on, let’s take a look
at your most recent sad memory.
what’s this?
it’s cloudy and fuzzy,
are you trying to block it?
no matter how hard you try to,
there still will be traces of it left.
