New Breed of Conversation Starters

you are my trivia
my little story to tell
my conversation starter
taking away all that is me
and turning it to all that is you
my convenient excuse
to keep up with my lies
keeping them away from the truth

your my avant garde
my art nouveau
that splatter of paint
everyone wants to know
and everyone talks about
my replaceable invincibility

i keep you on convenience
feed your ego
while i keep mine whole
lavish you with attention
and plan my exit route
leave you so
when time holds you stale
i'll find the new breed
of that irresistible chic

my own little trivia
my conversation starter
my art nouveau
to take all that is mine
and turning it to all that is theirs
my convenient excuse
my extravagant lie.
