self-respect [or lack thereof];
October 29, 2012
You had been hung out to dry
Far too many times to count,
Crucified as you swore revenge,
And yet your eyes are still shining.
I don’t know if it’s out of fear,
Or out of debt, or out of love,
But please don’t come crying
When she whittles you to bones—
Because I’ll just say
I told you so.
