How Can You?
How can you
Act like nothing’s wrong
Like life bends to your every whim
Like you are always right?
How can you
Act like I’m worthless dirt
Like it didn’t happen a long time ago
Like I wasn’t pushed by you?
How can you
Act like you care
Like the girls are yours to take
To use and abuse?
How can you
Act like nothing happened
Like I didn’t feel your hands
Unwanted in my shirt?
How can you
Act like I’m using him
And abusing him
As you do to your girls?
How can you
Act like you’re the victim
As if I were hurting you
And not just a threat to your mighty empire?
How can you
Say I’m still in love with you
And act like it’s some great burden
When I was never in love with you?
How can you
Still harass me
After all that
Through anyone you can enlist?
How can I
Resist talking back
After all I’ve gone through
After all of that pain and suffering?
How can I
Expect to go on and calm down
After all I’ve been through
And the threat of my death looming over me?
How the hell can I?
