Pure Fiction Straight from Me

he said
'you write these words
on a page, and I can't 
even figure out what is real
and what you've made up.

you tell me 
that you are not your poem,
but I'm seeing things I don't 
really like and sometimes 
it's a little too true.'

she said
'just take the things 
you really like and assume 
that they're all about you, 
and anything that wears on 
your mind is pure fiction 
straight from me.'
