Everyone has that one place they cannot go
Or that one thing they cannot look at.
All because of the memories attached are too uncomfortable, too painful.

For me, I can’t listen to any of my favorite bands that I showed you.
I can’t listen to a single fucking song without being drowned in memories.
Memories that sometimes I wish I didn’t even have anymore.

Because without those memories
These songs,
And those bands
Would simply just be what they are –
Songs and bands.

And I could once again enjoy them
Without
Wincing.
