Poetry Contest

She asked for my fears
but I shrank from her.
She requested tears,
I peeled an onion.
She asked for my dreams,
so I gave someone’s.

She sought memories
I’ve since forgotten.
She wanted the truth
so, of course, I lied.
When asked for my soul,
I offered my heel.

Funny. I really like "She requested tears, I peeled an onion". Are we ever really truthful when we're competing? Not likely :). Nice piece.
