this goes out to the man who holds my best friend's heart

to the man who was given the opportunity to hold her heart -- i was scared
she was young and fragile but you proved to me you were good

i believed you, for a while
until i saw changes in her
that made me think otherwise

now she runs to me
saying things about a man
i thought i'd never hear

to the man who
wrapped his fingers
around her fragile neck

i will hurt you in more ways
than one if i hear her tears
fall
down

to the man who even
thinks of entertaining
other women
when she doesn't do
what you want

i will make sure you burn
in the pits of hell

i will douse your fingers
with gasoline
just to loosen their grip
on her

you will feel my fury reach into
the depths of you
that you'll never think of hurting
her

remember when i say this
you are privileged to have held
this heart of hers
so do not ******* break it
