White Static
When you told me that you didn't know
If you wanted to be with me or not anymore
The only thing I could manage to think about
Was the happy memories that we had shared
Memories that helped me sleep at night
Memories that helped me stop crying when I was sad
Memories that helped me through tough times
Memories that reminded me of why I loved you
Of why I wanted you to stay
Of why I wanted you to never not know
So suddenly as the memories became happy
In my young
Love struck eyes
They became toxic
Evil
Images in my head that were planted
By the hatred in your soul
To make me regret every decision
I had ever made
These beautiful
Beautiful memories
Turned into
Memories that kept me up at night
Memories that kept me crying when I wanted to be happy
Memories that kept me going through tough times
Memories that reminded me of why I loved you
Of why I wanted you to stay
Of why I wanted you to not never know
How quickly you changed
How quickly our love turned into something
So fragile
So broken
So beyond compare
That now even the good memories
Have been tainted
Diseased
By a virus called "I just don't know"
That invaded your heart.
"I just don't know"
Another kiss that makes me cry
"I just don't know"
Another tear that otherwise would have been happy
"I just don't know"
How could you not know?
"I just don't know"
When did our love turn bad for you?
"I just don't know"
Did your memories have an expiration date?
"I just don't know"
The memories become tragedy
They become white static
Relaxing in the worst possible kind of way
Perfect in a way that it scares you when you're alone
Comforting when the only thing you hear is silence
It's just all white static now
You're white static
The memories are white static
Used so often in horror movies
But also to fall asleep
