The way your voice cracks when you talk about them.
The way your heart aches when you think about them.
The way your mind always seems to go back to them.

It makes me want to hurt them.
It makes me feel more violent,
More hostile,
More viscerally angry
Than anything in the world.

I've had many people hurt me,
And I've wanted to hurt them, too,
But seeing the way this one person
Could hurt you so much?

You can't imagine the lengths I'd go
Just to get revenge
Just so they can pay
Just so I can see you happy again.
