Selfish Benevolence

She feels so alone
she feels so worthless

At a crowded party
or locked away
by herself
in her room

She feels so cruel
She feels so selfish
every benevolent deed
every hand held

Never wanted
never loved
their words
as empty
as her eyes


They try to convince her
warping promises of protection
to deceitful blows
