Duel
I don’t want to forget you
Contentment as we lay entwined
You said this is where you wanted to be
Your memory is so ******* selective
Agony as I lay beside you
I never said I was your forever
The lady doth protest too much
I remember what was real and what wasn’t
The facts and my memories still conform
Your dramatics don’t impress me
You twist reality to suit you
Recall it all, not only what you want
Do I cause you all this pain?
Have I misread what you wanted?
Is this all my imagination?
Good intentions don’t preclude pain
What we both want, I can’t give
This is real but it’s not our reality
I only wanted to see you smile
Reciprocate the exhilaration you gave me
To be everything you ever needed
Our happiness masked a demon
The feelings were always mutual
You can’t be the answer to this question
Then on this we can agree
It’s two broken hearts, not one
