#deflection
You loved me in the darkness
Where shadows drew my face
But when the light returned once more
You're horror did replace.

And so we all do this thing
Of using what one has said
Against who themselves said it.
Is it rejection? Deflection?
Is it acceptance? Confrontation?
It's about how we choose to take it,
Not how another interprets it.
Right?

I don’t say I’m fine anymore; I don’t lie.
I rely instead on my dexterous deflection
of courteous concern. I have become sly;
Let’s talk about you – our shared predilection.
It is mutually beneficial – my deception.

I use my prescription note
as a bookmark
a milligram per page
a page for every breath
the breath of wolves
of swollen air
and dreams too real
it's not as if
I really know the difference
I think I like it like that
