Dear John

a letter to my ex-abuser

you don't have the first clue how to love

there is not a piece of you that's selfless

and every time I'm forced to remember you

I get sick, uneasy and restless

I know what love is

in fact I'm probably in love now

and I'd take a bullet of any kind

to keep him safe somehow

Isn't that the one that was

the aim of your stones that you tried to throw

and then I begged and pleaded

for you to let me take the blow

not so fun is it now that you're

at the bottom with those rocks

but your chains could never hold

someone who knows she always held the locks

don't even try to tell me that you're sorry

I already know you much too well

I'm too strong to let you break me

and your lies came straight from...

hello here's your wake up call

you never were the best

everything you wanted was like you were

fiending like the rest

a rapist didn't break me, a lover didn't break me

a user didn't break me, a lost one didn't break me

a gamer-instigator didn't break me

a sad, pathetic, creeper & abusive liar didn't break me

and you're about all of those combined

and I aint about to break over someone

not nearly worth my time
