Would it be

Would it be just like me

Cuts, scratches, bruises, on a tree

Worms around the trash bin and porch

It would be like me, all this to torch

 

Would it be just like you

Tears, frowns, quivers, as if on cue

Crows circling around the bald spot of your head

It would be like you, the heaviness of lead

 

Would it be just a part of my suffering

Beats, shanks, stabs, all this I'm wondering

As you stalk the perimeter of my body

It would be my suffering, all your evil to embody
