I remember so many things he said
Words with prickly edges that sometimes still stick in my skin and mind
Don’t be such a silly girl
Don’t take this the wrong way, you’re easy, you’re simple
I’m just being honest
I have no affection to give you how can you hate or blame me for that is it all or nothing with you have a good day
I remember so many things you said
Words profound but with a sister-friend shelter over me
Don’t torture yourself.
Did it ever occur to you that you ruined a song for him?
Let’s go get you some pizza and a coke, how about a cookie?
Girl please

Ah, a poem of dueling voices. Such stark differences between the two. Repeating in the girl’s mind: Why couldn’t voice A sound like voice B?
