Ex-cess Memories is a poem written by Kevin Rein and shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme Intrusive Thoughts for the month of May
I was awakened at 2 in the morning
Sweat drips from all over my face
My throat sore from snoring
I couldn’t close my eyes again
And then, flashbacks came rushing
I was staring blank at the ceiling
I read names, I remembered faces
Memories resurfaced
I picked my phone and typed some words
Hell, I forgot his first name
I remember his family name
But I cannot recall wether it has letter v or b
I gambled by looking at suggestions
I saw him quick on first line
That face still sends me butterflies
Baby face, deep eyes, and silly smile
And then, I wondered why the sudden reminder
Did I dream that we were still together
Or he’s awake too somewhere
With the memories of me in his head, as well
