Memory List by Lexus

I come from Power Puff sheets and blankets,
Cracks in the streets and being scared of flushing toilets.

I come from New Jersey,
Heavy music at night, my family.

I come from shocking memories.

I come from smoky charcoal on Sunday,
I come from the corners.

I come from the belt being raised in the air,
whizzed.

I come from tears,
I come from threats.

And when I heard you died
I was hurt but showed no emotion.

When I heard you were gone, a huge hole
Dived deep into my heart.

When you died,
A recording of our memories came back to me.

When you died you were gone,
but never forgotten.

I come from you.
