He was never going to learn
But still, I stayed.
Both of us horizontal
He grabbed me by the part that I embrace now
The part that my mother told me to lose
The part that I believed had to leave.
He said the words that at the time
Didn’t cross my mind
As the words that I would find
To repeat themselves long
After he’d gone.
Don’t fall fatso, he uttered
As I fell to the ground
I heard the sound
Of my mind shatter.
Even years later
After hoping for a new beginning
He said without thinking
You’ve got bigger, and there was the trigger
Which fired a feeling so loud that I knew
I knew, he was never going to learn
But still, I stayed.
