Obscure Closure

Of things blocked out

It’s okay

That you don’t believe me

Maybe I’m insane

It’s okay

That you don’t believe me

If it spares you any pain

He was your world

And my nightmare

Both can be true

It’s okay

It’s okay

It’s all okay for you

You don’t remember

I’ll remember for two

It’s okay you don’t believe me

It was just this brain

Can’t keep things straight

Won’t keep them plain

Don’t worry

I’ll take the deeds

I’ll wear the stain

I can heft this weight

If it spares you pain

Enjoy bright days

Bask in their warmth

Know your world’s not shaken

Never question your worth

It’s okay

you don’t believe me

I am truly glad

You can live freely

The life I’ll never have

    "I'll remember for two" hits hard. Heavy but beautiful poem. Well done!

    This remind of gaslighting, some pretending not to believe someone to make them seem crazy
