A Good Judge

find and replace the words that do not work
 with the ones that will
 it's no small task, the wrong words lurk in corners
 and they do not get their fill
 of being used as weapons, of being used to hurt
 someone you used to love
 sometimes the pain just tumbles out
 and we don't always say the things we should
 but I know you to be good
 I know you to be fair
 and I hope you'll be a good judge of me
 now that I'm no longer there
 and the trouble was
 you never had that many words for me
 I was left to guess how you felt
 and if you wanted me to leave
 and not wanting me to leave
 is not the same thing as wanting me to stay
 so I had the great debate between me and me
 and then I walked away
 but I know you to be good
 I know you to be fair
 and I hope you'll be a good judge of me
 now that I'm no longer there
 and to the victor goes the spoils,
 but what if there's no clear winner?
 and what if spoils are just things that are spoilt?
 in grammar as in life, the line becomes thinner
 but I know you to be good
 I know you to be fair
 and I hope you'll be a good judge of me
 now that I'm no longer there
