I watched you leave through the window. Did you even think twice? I bet not. You used to be a sad, old thing, Silent and fat, dangerously nice Not even a clue. But did you...did you know? You certainly thought you knew me... Mistake number 1. But I, I made some terrible mistakes. I needed you to see, You became a friend... And an odd friend at that! Picking fights not meant for you- Didn't help anyone. And picking fights with me! Until you knew what I'd do. I thought it odd. Polar opposites, but it worked alright. The world seemed to move again. Well, it was twirling down. It was something that I'd never do, Which is why you would begin. Greedy, still, for a rich one. You were told to close that window, By maybe, your mother? I know she hated me. Or, just because you didn't need loyalty, But numbers and numbers-another, another. I wasn't going along! You knew such, so you wanted me out. I was the wrong one for that. It tore me apart. Simply, I was a gateway. A way To become an insider...you rat! Like all of the others. I must say, rich-y, you fit well. It's a blood-sucking town. We all hate each other. But mostly, me, you see. You didn't know I was down. It's all happened before. You knew that! I told you! You just didn't have a heart. I bet not. Did you even think twice, Before making a start? I bet not!

I'm betting
