Being her arch enemy May 16, 2013

  

 

So, what happened to turn her anger in my direction again, if indeed I am the creator of the show as she claims someone is – or is there some new arch enemy that rivals me for her dubious affection.

This new phase of the cold war comes after an intense and heated romance with some man, a romance that ultimately did not work out.

I am tempted to think she needs to divert herself from those emotional wounds by resurrecting an old enemy she can focus her attentions on.

And yet, something may have happened, some event that caused her to abruptly change course in her poetry, and turn her wrath back on me, perhaps something I posted she interpreted wrongly (or rightly?), and which put me back on her periscope.

The big question is what to do about it, if anything can be done. I cannot communicate with her, and even if I tried it would only make matters worse, reverting back to that situation of her birthday disaster, or any other attempt I’ve made to apologize, whether or not in the case an apology is even warranted.

The best thing, I suppose, is to remain “clever and illusive,” stay silent and bear the sting of these stones and arrows, if I am actually the person to which these poems are directed.

I would be a relief to find that she has found a new arch villain, and sad as well since there is some distinction in having some impact, even if it is a negative one.

Which is worse, being yelled at or being ignored?

Being her arch enemy shows that she cares – if only to condemn me for everything.
