I caught you at a bad time
So I mean no offense but
Fuck you
Because you caught me
Stumbling
At the end of eight years
And I don’t want
Such a flinching first
To be such a burden
I want to think
I can replace the memories
Because this truth is
Picking away
At the soft scab
Inside my chest
It could be justice
It could be karma
But someone’s God has been appeased
It’s ok it’s ok it’s ok
I swear but
In the most respectful way possible,
Fuck You
I promise I don’t feel
Entitled
I just don’t feel shit
Beyond the steady impact
Of my head against a brick wall
And for a minute
I thought you saw
So when you say it’s just a bad time
Understand
I was there, it’s not your fault
But I’m scraped raw
