it was immature and boyish that i broke up with you way back in high school because you wouldn't put out. but i said as much, so i'm not sorry. i said what i knew to be true. but you swooned only after i had starved myself. i didn't want you, i only wanted proof. i can't help that instant feminists called me a pig, adding shame and desire to the mix. you remain deeply resentful and frigid in my imagination, but i cannot muster even an ounce of guilt for not deceiving you instead. i would never violate your trust.

thorn retrospectives, number 1 (proof)
it was immature and boyish that i broke up with you way back in high school because you wouldn't put out. but i said as much, so i'm not sorry. i said what i knew to be true. but you swooned only after i had starved myself. i didn't want you, i only wanted proof. i can't help that instant feminists called me a pig, adding shame and desire to the mix. you remain deeply resentful and frigid in my imagination, but i cannot muster even an ounce of guilt for not deceiving you instead. i would never violate your trust.
such and such a thing i did, such a thing i didn't do; i have made peace with myself as well as the idea of you.
