Never Your Nemesis
I'm your villain,
And I guess that's okay.
You might never understand
How much I looked up to you.
You probably can't understand
Why I don't remember your name.
It doesn't matter.
I didn't get to choose my faults, my neurodivergence.
You thought that because I could read a book
I could read a person.
The truth is,
I thought of us as almost the same.
I thought of you as brilliant.
I'll never understand
How you could make me feel so inspired
While cringing at my disruptive behavior.
It hurts, believe it or not,
That I have known you for decades,
And I can't remember your name.
It hurts that I see your face
Hear your voice
I think of you as good, smart, and kind
But I can't remember your name,
You brilliant, beautiful soul.
So I guess I better be okay
Just being your villain.
