Synopsis: Convenient amnesia, also known as selective amnesia, can be defined as amnesia about particular events that is very convenient for the person who cannot remember. It's a twisted way of thinking that can cause irreparable damage in a relationship.
Throughout life, my memory has served as an asset
No wonder dealing with your convenient amnesia was a backset
But instead, it was something we couldn't prevent
I started to resent; stress and confusion was underwent
We were never getting anywhere, like looking in a gyroscope
You used it to your advantage until I put it under a microscope
Then it dawned on me as I was doing the dishes
It's a mental game I don't want part of my living conditions
It's like, I'm not a PS5; this is where the GameStops
I started calling you out on it; now the flame's hot
You could of checked yourself for your sake, perhaps
That would of softened the blow; cushioned the collapse
Remembering what you wanted helped save face to some effect
In turn, my intellect was insulted; how could it not affect?
Maybe you can find someone who you can dupe, comma
I'd rather relax and turn melodrama into mellow-drama
