Knowing your flaws confused my heart so I only wrote about the things I liked about you. And when words on a page are screaming good parts, you forget the bad, and become a fool.
Knowing you had good qualities made my head throb so I only wrote the things I hated about you. And when thinking about how hard you made me sob, I forgot the good, and rewrote what I knew.
Knowing the truth makes my body hurt so I only write my versions of the people I know. And when my poems read as if the roles were reversed, I forget what really happened, as if the truth was always faux.
