She asked why
You carried her
Up hills
Through trees
Holding grudges the way they do
Did you know
She’d hit her head
Off every branch
And twig
That you didn’t see
Dragging up a watered down bottle
Filled with every scar from each battle
Caught in desperation in her obvious state
She’s trying hard
To make sense of
What you forced down her throat
Until
She forgot to breathe again
Because she knows
You had to know how it felt
To be
The accused with no benefits
Dragging up a soiled, stinking bottle
Filled with every bit sweat from her sorrows
Caught in every lie she told in her own defence
But you’re just as guilty as she
She asks you
If you could do much better
If you could kill
If you weren’t raised the way you were
And do you know how it feels
To know, no matter what you chose
Its just life, not what you do
Did you know
She’d hit her head
Off every branch
And twig
That you didn’t see
Did you know
That each time
Was yours
And you, and you
And you’re just as guilty as she
Dragging up a watered down bottle
Filled with every scar from each battle
Caught in desperation in her obvious state
But you’re just as guilty as she
Dragging up a soiled, stinking bottle
Filled with every bit sweat from her sorrows
Caught in every lie she told in her own defence
But you are just as guilty as she
