you speak into life
a variation of reality
where you are untouched
by condemnation
and unaccountable
for your behavior
your convoluted narrative
coils around me
constricting me into suppression
when I approach a state
of delirium
you try to accuse me
of being incapable of discerning
fact from fable
but I will not concede
and alter my persona
to be the victim
you used to know
the woman you
used against me
in your parallel universe
where you are convinced
that you are invulnerable
to indiscretion
unblemished in your
specious solace
