don’t pity the man who tells you a sad story

 
what a picture: you, suckling a heroin teat.

we are all so sorry  
and we understand
you’ve been badly treated  
honey it’s not your fault  
 
who could love a man like you? i must be the only one  
who sees through you  
so why would you deceive me  
knowing how i care for you  
 
who could handle a man like you?  
with what you’ve been through  
with the trust I’ve given you  
with the trauma we share  
how could you violate  
my heart so  
 
thoroughly  
 
that i won’t trust a soul till I die  
 
and you will be perversely proud  
that you ruined me  
 
-it’s just how I am, you say  
-i know, says the girl next door  
-it’s what I like about you. we’re just the same as each other  
 
but you will always  
i mean forever  
be the worse  
 
and she will also leave you
