Storytelling

I choose what parts of my life to tell you.

I can hand craft gold plated stories made from the best memories
Silver threaded retellings which are a little different each time
Ruby encrusted events that glisten with nostalgia.

I can conceal my feelings like a magician
A perfectly hidden crisis in a cape
Topped with a top hat of a smile.

I can forget events like I've turned on the tap
And washed them down the sink in seconds
Or remember them like century old carvings that have lasted the earths lifespan
And recall them in minutes with every detail.

Or I can say nothing at all whilst you speak your own fairy tales so I can live through
