poetry

tell her

Look your auntie in the eyes and tell her what you did
Look your Gramma in the eyes and tell her what you did
Look your sister in the eyes and tell her what you did
Look your mama in the eyes- TELL HER WHAT YOU DID

Tell all those women who trust you that you hid
After you held a girl down by her throat to put it in
That you buried your face in the ferns as you slid
Not even you could face what you did

All these pretty women and all their simple kids
Haven't got a single clue of what you did
But you never forgot that one sunlit sin
You never let that fucking memory slip
Like a little battle victory that left you just as sick

So look those women in the eyes and tell them what you did
Tell every future girlfriend and any future kids
Tell all your fucking friends and their wives just to make it stick
I wanna see their faces when you try to gloat and rub it in

Tell them you're a rapist and it's what you've always been
Tell them you'll just take what you want, that you'll force your way in
That despite any bleeding you'll make yourself fit
Tell them you're a monster and you refuse to fucking quit
