What should I say to convince her? Her lazy eyes look at me, full of questions. Dazzled, I turn my eyes to some part of her body. Her existence may originate from some mysterious race. This trophy should go inside my collection. What should I say to her to convince her?
I say things I don’t believe. They don’t exist. Just to convince her. I praise myself, hidden behind beautiful words and an effort. I continue with happy, romantic, and sad stories. Fairy tales. Until I penetrate her mind, I watch her reactions until I understand what she wants and craves.
I hide reality. I falsify it. I present it as I like to so many people. A fake life with an untrue image. Inside there, I live buried, thinking of ways until I convince them and accomplish what my greedy mind desires until I please my ego. And I continue.
There are ways of persuasion. A little brainwashing that steals intelligence. Lies, words, sentences big and small. A little pepper and salt in the truth, a little imagination in my life, a little prestige in my personality. I promise money, gifts, and advantageous proposals. I offer security, trust, and friendship until I find the point to convince.
What should I say to convince her? Life seems dull and boring. I fight a battle to provide some interest every day. I’ve lived, I’ve craved a lot, and I’ve conquered a few whims. And this creature, now, stirs my imagination. I present myself as a king, an emperor in a kingdom that does not exist, just to convince her.
Now she listens to me. A single question hovers in her expression. Do I mean whatever comes out of my mouth? Will I fulfill my promises? She doesn’t need to know the after. What matters is that I get what I want now.
What should I tell her to convince her? What lies to think, what facts to make up? I want her gaze to remain fixed on me, if only for one night. I want to taste her, her to be given to me. I love her. She needs me. Can’t she see that? She will see it, and I will convince her. She will look for me. She will need me. Lie to lie. I pretend to be the mentor, the wise man to the confused young woman who doesn’t know what she wants, doesn’t know where she’s going. I degrade her knowledge to show my superiority, to confuse her. I have to show her. I have to tell her. I have to convince her.
She looks at me suspiciously. What should I tell her to convince her? Maybe I’ll put something in her drink until I tie her to my bed.
