hockey, faggotry, mental illness

memory

i still have a distorted memory of you.
i remember we skated together.
i remember you convinced me to start playing hockey.
i remember you buying me ice cream.
five years ago, i know things can change.
but still, after four, you won't consider me?
i know that sounds stuck up—three years is the max.
but two me you were
my number one.

i still have a distorted memory of you.
i remember i asked if you were gonna go.
i remember i asked if i should ask.
i remember you cut me off.
then at that time, i realized
that this team is just pretending
to love me and accept me
they just wanted $400
squeezed out of me.
