The One Sided View

seeing from the outside of your story, hearing the words you use,
only knowing what you tell me, only seeing your point of view,
the hearts exaggeration without acknowledging our part,
you know, the part of the story from the others view, and how your words affected their heart,
this is the part where it gets twisted and influences the outsiders view,
because they don't know the other person, they only just know you,
i've seen the selling argument that wants you to sympathize,
please justify these feelings, understand me, and take my side,
i can't stand standing in the middle when it wasn't my experience with you,
i will erase in my mind what you told me, and start out with you brand new,
where your heart was at in that moment is not where it is now,
your in a different time and place, with new experiences to be found,
shift your concentration and live your life to be,
experience new experiences.....experience them with me.
