The Swatter and The Fly

Oh honey just look at what you've become
Look at who you are, just another stupid fool
What didn't you understand?
What didn't you get?
When I said I was over you.

You try to guilt trip me with those looks
I get pictures from you, arms with cuts
Look at the state of you, you fuckin’ fool
I'm so over this, just give me the knife
I'll do it for you

You used to say you loved me
But only [after] you beat me black and blue
Honey your definition of love doesn't suit mine
The smack of your fist, the split of my lip
Was the only kiss I ever got from you

And you think that it's so damn easy
You just walk away like it never happened
Well you've got another thing coming babe
I've had it up to here, don't make a move
Honey this bullet is just for you

[Irony] You used to ask
What could drive someone [To take a life]
Guess what Honey you're gonna find out
Your time is up
The roles have changed

Because now [I'm] the swatter and [you're] the fly

Please tell me what you think

    Tommy, this is a brilliant piece of writing. I know of people who have been abused like this, and it's one of the hardest things, an abuse that goes from physical to emotional...it's saddens me that people think the only way to get back what they once had is to use emotinal blackmail. Wonderful write

    Beautiful!

    Every line of this poem was amazing, awesome job!
    I know people assume that when there is abuse in a relationship that the man does it, but I've known people who were abused by women, thank you for this poem!
