True?

if nothing’s true
    it can’t be true
        that nothing’s true

if no-one’s true
    it can’t be true
        I’ve been untrue

if you’ve been true
    then yes it’s true
        I’ve been untrue

but were you true
    in thought, not just
        as someone who

kept all the rules
    but broke my heart
        when you withdrew

inside yourself –
    or is it true
        that’s my fault too

or is it best
    never to face
        what might be true

if we both want
    (true, or untrue?)
        to start anew?
