here we go again

You use ideas as weapons
try and make me a villain
in your story
where I'm not
and never have been
the bad guy

You act like boundaries
is a dirty word
when you just want a life
without consequences

I understand that your
flight or flight response
is to turn me into a bitch
so you can be the martyr
but no one is looking
to burn you at the stake
and turning your trauma on me
won't heal the wounds
within either of us

I won't break myself
so you can kill yourself slowly
and hold a loaded gun to my head
and make me watch
the threads of you unravel

I've been there and done that
and I still carry those scars
of the last time you
pulled me into this dance

You twist words
twist my emotions
twist ideas
until I fit the villain
your reality needs

You use ideas as weapons
and don't care about the people
you have to break
to get what you want
