I didn't do it cuz I don't remember.

My butt sticks to the cold floor

There's screaming all around:

Sweat and screaming.

Someone's on the ground,

wearing a mask of blood

"You did it, you did it!" 

There's blood on my fist,

crawling between my fingers

taunting me,

But I never left my bed.

I didn't do it cuz I don't remember.


I didn't do it cuz I don't remember.

My wife is a crying corpse on the ground,

a gazelle wounded after a chase.

I'm breathing,

breathing hard,

rushing to her. 

are 

you 

okay? 

She glares at me like I did something

But I didn't do it cuz I don't remember 


I didn't do it cuz I don't remember

My car's in tatters

There's blood on my hands

but not in that way.

My Lambo is gone 

Is gone forever,

I feel the pills in my pockets

Police are here. 

Grabbing my arms,

clamping my hands together

Across the street another clump of metal

Another man with blood on his hands

but he's not a man, but a body

cuz he's dead. 

But I didn't do it,

No, I didn't do it cuz I don't remember.


I didn't do it cuz I don't remember. 

I'm in a bed that's not mine,

I'm in a house that's not mine,

I'm in a woman that's not mine, 

I never came here.

I never slept here.

With a stranger 

Run, escape, pretend nothing happened. 

I didn't do it cuz I don't remember. 


I didn't do it cuz I don't remember. 

Knives sit in both hands, 

soaked in red,

Five men, on the ground, 

Five guys, I laugh, 

My fav burger place,

then realize,

they don't laugh 

or talk

     or move

            or breathe

But I didn't do it cuz I don't remember.

This is one of the first poems I've ever written. I based it off of people who experience amnesia, whether it be due to drugs or mental disorders.
