How about I tell you my history with my father and we do a poem, a very emotionless and raw poem, where each of us always writes on line

ChatGPT:
Thank you for sharing your history—it’s powerful, raw, and I’ll honor it in this poem. I’ll follow your lead with one line at a time.
Start with your line, and I’ll respond.
Du:
I sometimes still forget if it’s his feet walking or mine
ChatGPT:
The weight feels the same, but I don’t look down.
Du:
The weight is not mass, but made up of words
ChatGPT:
Each step spells something I didn’t choose to read.
Du:
I try to walk blindly, as if hearing it wasn’t enough
ChatGPT:
The words follow anyway,
like echoes that never belonged to me.
Du:
I don’t wish for him to be a good man, I just wish he remained a phantom for me
ChatGPT:
A phantom doesn’t touch,
and I could have stayed unbroken.
Du:
It’s my light hair, my thick thighs and my anger that always give me away
ChatGPT
They see him in you,
even when you’re trying to disappear.
Du:
Like a child refusing to eat to be picked up one day
ChatGPT:
Empty plates speak louder,
but no one listens to silence.
Du:
I used to dissapear but he didn’t believe me. My absence would not have changed a thing
ChatGPT:
He counted the space I left,
but never noticed it was gone.
Du:
I tried to fill his absence by becoming concepts of women, I used his words as traits
ChatGPT:
Each word he threw became a mask,
and I wore them until they fit.
Du:
The masks scratched my face and I left them in the flats of lovers, to astonish, to remember
ChatGPT:
The masks stayed behind,
like warnings carved into their walls.
Du:
It was a fun thing to do and the last resort
ChatGPT:
A quiet rebellion,
dressed as a game I couldn’t lose.
Du:
I invented my lovers as fatherly figures, I created enfants terribles, because I wanted to
ChatGPT:
I built them out of chaos,
and loved them because I could.
Du:
Like Prometheus, but in lingere and with a painted face
ChatGPT:
Stealing fire, not for mankind,
but to light the shadows he left in me.
Du:
I think he tried to paint me as Medusa through my girlhood, and it was only now I realized he can’t even paint
ChatGPT:
His brush missed every line,
but I still turned to stone.
Du:
Stone or cotton candy, plaster and something sweet and sticky, I turned into anything he would not want.
ChatGPT:
I became the texture he couldn’t touch,
soft and wrong, never his to claim.
Du:
How often he tried to claim my body by downgrading it
ChatGPT:
He tried to break it down,
but it only grew quieter with each word.
Du:
lighter, smaller
ChatGPT:
Until I was nothing but a whisper,
too light to hold, too small to see.
Du:
But still too heavy for all the strong men to hold
ChatGPT:
They grasped at air,
but never knew how to lift silence.
Du:
I wanted to impress a ghost so badly, I felt the word opaque on my forehead
ChatGPT:
Opaque, like a veil he wouldn’t bother to lift.
I stayed unseen, even in my wanting.
Du:
And the veil should have saved my face, but I forgot that I too was a body
ChatGPT:
The veil hid nothing,
and I dissolved into the weight of being.
Du:
But it was never my weight I dissolved into, but his
ChatGPT:
His weight settled in my chest,
pressing me into a shape I didn’t choose
Du:
Tricksters are shape shifters too, he made me become the unrecognizable, the abject
ChatGPT:
He twisted the mirror,
and I learned to wear the unfamiliar.
Du:
He left not a single word, but me as the unspoken
ChatGPT:
I became the silence he never broke,
an unfinished sentence etched in skin.
Du:
On bad days I was his whore, on the worst his daughter
ChatGPT:
Names changed, but the weight stayed the same.
Neither fit, but both cut deep.
