# The artificial day

Аноним Korvin

The day I broke up with my girlfriend

(well, actually it was her who broke up with me)

The day I broke up with my girlfriend

(in fact the day after, that first day I got drunk and cried like a baby)

The day I broke up with my girlfriend

I asked her

Am I too old?

(she said so from time to time, half in-joke)

Am I too fat?

(and yes, I used to be, but no, not in that day)

If I lied to you ever?

(surprisingly not)

No

You are too

Manipulative!

She said

And I immediately recalled in memory bunch of characters

Who told me these exact words when I watched them patiently

I mean I surely like Mister White, Frank Underwood, Tony Montana

And the other people of this nature

Goal-driven and cinеmatographic

So simple and so artificial

But

Telling the truth

I didn't get what does it really mean "manipulative"

Except the fact that I realized I behaved like an asshole

Let me not to be manipulative I said

No

People don't change

So do you

Will stick that way

Which meant

You are an asshole on your own

For no reason at all

It was a bit upsetting

To hear about this

It remains to be hoped that

cinеmatographic was implied.
