Conscience ThoughtsA Poem by Jack Necron (Aubrey Jack Peaslee)Sometimes people say one thing and mean another.
I want to be with you.
(But not forever) The food was great. (It was burnt and awful) I hate them. (I know little about them) I can’t wait to go there. (Do I have to go?) Never really thought about it. (It keeps me up at night) I love you. (More than you will ever know) I love you. (I only want to bed you down) I beat the hell out that guy once. (I’ve never fought anybody in my life) I have slept with hundreds of people. (It's actually the opposite) I don’t miss him anymore. (My heart aches thinking about him) Lets take a break for awhile. (Stop smothering me!) You’re such a good friend. (I can’t stand to be around you) I love everything about you. (I hate everything about you) That was funny. (No, it was stupid) I’ve dated many women. (I can’t even get a phone number) I don’t know anything about it. (Telling you would hurt you) I only want to be friends. (I'm not interested) I don’t like you that way. (I'm afraid to tell you) My confidence is high. (Fear grips my gut) I never cry. (I do when I am alone) Everything will be alright. (I can’t promise that) She won’t leave me. (I don’t want to face the truth) It will happen. (It won't) It won't happen. (It will) I am a coward. (I am stronger than I realize) I fear nothing. (I don’t want to admit it) I do not! (I do too) I have no problems with that. (It bothers me a lot) What a wonderful gift. (It’s not what I wanted) She is a s**t. (I secretly envy her) He is a jerk. (Not as much as I want others to believe) I’m a good person. (Though most don‘t believe it) I’m a good guy. (I abused my last spouse) Sorry, I’m kinda busy. (Actually, I’m not) Anybody going with you? (Can I go with you?) We sometimes say one thing (And mean another) © 2016 Jack Necron (Aubrey Jack Peaslee)Author's Note
