You smiled
And put your hand around her shoulder
I winced.

You laughed
About things that seemed careless
I felt my blood boil.

You talked
So that time was thrown away
I clenched my fists.

You are not just one
But many of you have wronged us
I hate that.

I wish I could say
I can count all of them on one hand
But I can't.

Your head filled
With things that have never come out
Of our mouths.

You are  full of sharks
And I don't know which ones bite
So I do not jump in.
