the real reason I stopped writing things down

I wish
I didn't used to write things down
so much. I came across

a page in a songbook ages ago
I was taking notes from the conversation
we had, that eventually

we gave up. Such ridiculous
not-even lies, and all
made-up. The truth

is that you were right,
that I
was right, for as long as we tried
to agree. Invincibly true,
if unevenly.

The real reason I stopped writing things down
is I got lazy.
The ink
in the tiny wallet-sized pen that you gave me

dried up.
