You tear me down with all your words

creeping closer with every breath

shaming me for all your wrongs

a shove won’t hurt

a point in the face won’t budge

but that smack wasn’t like another

Even worse when it’s from your own brother

when the time came

no fear I could show

when they said the word go

The lies I had to use

that benefit only you

A whisper you told, every time I obey

with a smile, I promised to say nothing more
