It’s okay
That you don’t believe me
Maybe I’m insane
It’s okay
That you don’t believe me
If it spares you any pain
He was your world
And my nightmare
Both can be true
It’s okay
It’s okay
It’s all okay for you
You don’t remember
I’ll remember for two
It’s okay you don’t believe me
It was just this brain
Can’t keep things straight
Won’t keep them plain
Don’t worry
I’ll take the deeds
I’ll wear the stain
I can heft this weight
If it spares you pain
Enjoy bright days
Bask in their warmth
Know your world’s not shaken
Never question your worth
It’s okay
you don’t believe me
I am truly glad
You can live freely
The life I’ll never have

"I'll remember for two" hits hard. Heavy but beautiful poem. Well done!
This remind of gaslighting, some pretending not to believe someone to make them seem crazy
