Your lovely little daughter
Was wonderfully bright
But she had a face which
Boys would run from on sight
In your jealous eyes
You saw them come to me
With endless promises of love
Happiness and matrimony
You harped on my flaws
And crushed my dreams
So that everyone could see
The crooked way you saw me
The scars on my wrists
Just brightened your day
“How could a boy love you
Since you’ve acted this way?”
So many thoughts and jibes
Ran through my mind
But the only thing said was
“My girlfriend likes me just fine.”

So that everyone could see

Just brightened your day
“How could a boy love you

So many thoughts and jibes
Ran through my mind
But the only thing said was
