I’ll forget to remember I told myself. The snow is such a horrible reminder.
Cold as I lay to think, has it always been this way?
The words fall down before me as my heart clenches.
Strings of fury encase, pulling at every artery.
Theories exist only for my pleasure, Chaos reigns.
Hoof prints leaving sounds of rain pattering.
Everything slowly breaks.
It is an electron blinking in and out as if it were so free.
Snatch it, wrap it up and put it under the Christmas tree.
Ribbons and sparkles all alight with all the stars agleam.
Fire burns within its place and smoke rings fill the air.
I knew I would forget, but now I can’t remember what it was.
The cookies or the candies in the socks? Perhaps the candle to light the way?
Maybe it was the big bang? I’d heard it once and knew it could be.

I don't think you need a period after ever line, that just seems unnecessary to me plus it disrupts the flow. this was a nice write though, I liked all the imagery. I like the ending a lot.
thanks for entering and goodluck
