‘Double-speak’ and ‘Often I’m asked’

I mean every word I say
but sometimes I say two opposite things-
“I Love you.” “I hate you.”
“Well which one is it?”
“Yes.”



Often I’m asked if what I write is true
as if all those fanciful things could be
true
and even if they were-
I wouldn’t admit to it,
might end up in jail!
Some girls ask who I wrote
this or that for
Love poems, sweet poems, sappy romantic ones
I think they want them to be about her
or they just want to glimpse into my past,
women are weird like that-
Sometimes I tell them “For you.”
they love that, “You inspired me.”
Sometimes I say no, they seem sad
and I love the expression they make
disappointment
and then I turn the conversation
to something else
