Fuck you!
For thinking that what I needed
Was a healthy dose of criticism
You seem to have mistaken me
And my kindness
But this silence, you observe
Isn’t out of weakness
It’s just my normal shocked reaction
To people who say mean things
In a kind way
That is to say, you’ve confused me
And confused Me! for being so kind
That I will accept these cruel words
Which is apparently good advice
When we both know
You just want to feel powerful
Knowing they’ll be no rebuke
Should you hit to hard
I suppose they do say that bullies
Like to put people down
To make themselves feel better
And I guess that’s all
You’ve ever been, will ever be
So I’ll say thank you, for pissing on this
The dying embers of our friendship
Now I can save all this energy
I was wasting
On trying to like you
