Meds

I was alone, falling free,
Trying my best not to forget
What happened to us, what happened to me,
What happened as I let it slip.

I was confused by the powers that be,
Forgetting names and faces.
Passers by were looking at me
As if they could erase it.

(Baby... Did you forget to take your meds?)

I was alone, staring over the ledge,
Trying my best not to forget
All manner of joy, all manner of glee,
And our one heroic pledge.

How it mattered to us, how it mattered to me,
And the consequences.
I was confused, by the birds and the bees,
Forgetting if I meant it.

(Baby... Did you forget to take your meds?)
...And the sex and the drugs, and the complications.

Baby... Did you forget to take your meds?
[...]

I was alone, falling free, trying my best not to forget.
