Sympathetic Character |
| I was afraid you’d hit me if I’d spoken up I was afraid of your physical strength |
| I was afraid you’d hit below the belt |
| I was afraid of your sucker punch |
| I was afraid of your reducing me I was afraid of your alcohol breath |
| I was afraid of your complete disregard for me I was afraid of your temper |
| I was afraid of handles being flown off of I was afraid of holes being punched into walls |
| I was afraid of your testosterone |
| I have as much rage as you have |
| I have as much pain as you do |
| I’ve lived as much hell as you have |
| And I’ve kept mine bubbling under for you |
| You were my best friend |
| You were my lover |
| You were my mentor |
| You were my brother |
| You were my partner |
| You were my teacher |
| You were my very own sympathetic character |
| I was afraid of verbal daggers |
| I was afraid of the calm before the storm |
| I was afraid for my own bones |
| I was afraid of your seduction |
| I was afraid of your coercion |
| I was afraid of your rejection |
| I was afraid of your intimidation |
| I was afraid of your punishment |
| I was afraid of your icy silences |
| I was afraid of your volume |
| I was afraid of your manipulation |
| I was afraid of your explosions |
| I have as much rage as you have |
| I have as much pain as you do |
| I’ve lived as much hell as you have |
| And I’ve kept mine bubbling under for you |
| (repeat 2 x) |
| You were my keeper |
| You were my anchor |
| You were my family |
| You were my saivour |
| And therein lay the issue |
| And therein lay the problem |
