you wanted me to pay
your hell
you tried to carve your history
into me
with a belt and
sharp tongue
cold hands and
cruel heart
you should have known me better
     (what an undeserved gift to have loved you from the start)
i should have known you better
you made a broken childhood
aching
and then asked how i could do that
to you
but i've got my own hell
and there's no room for you here

     (i hope you're happy)
