Your effort to save me was three words long As though years of bitterness could be rectified With a superficial, overdone, idiotic phrase... So that you could at least say you "tried." It's pathetic how the words tickle the back of my throat Always waiting to spill onto the nearest sympathetic ear And even more so pathetic that they are never said... Because I'm convinced you won't say what I want to hear. It is in your ignorance that you reach out to shattered people Without recognizing the barbed wire around them And you'd be infected with their plague with the slightest ***** I hope you're infected, I hope you end up broken. You're not above this. You're not. You pretend to be just as okay as we do You're not some miracle healer; not godsend I hope you realize we, every single one of us, hate you.
