some people don’t exist.
some people are now different people.
and so we create them with memories and ideas and it’s
a ritual. not a sacrifice.
the truth as it were, through the lens of want or the deluge of hate.
you learn at some point just
exactly
where one ends, and the other trails off..
a trail i will not ever travel.
so, i guess, just know. that
it isn’t about you. just because
it was. doesn’t
mean it is.
