angst cycle (iii)
[L] (v)

i was told
she was told
rings false

she doesn’t see it so
she wouldn’t
i would
that much is normal

but
let me ask you
if two people have a fight
doesn’t it normally take
two people
to decide
to not avoid
to fight

if one is attacked
and injured
without deciding to fight
doesn’t it normally cause
a complaint to the police
an investigation

unless the story of victimhood
is false
or the victim
has something to hide
from the police

i can’t see
the story told
to be true

i guess the crime concealed
but that
i agree
is jealousy

well
i’ve said so
she’s warned
much as she hates it

now
i think
is the time to cut away
if i can
if i can
