Unkind

useless potential

and unwarded dignity

essential

thing is your simplicity

no honor

and even little empathy

I cover

your face with my brutality

I want you

to kneel and say you’re nullity

I want you

to say you’re terribly sorry

I’ll hit you

as many times as I want to

admit it

my demon owes his life to you

all right

I was taught to be so unkind

love doesn’t have to be so blind

oh I’m so unkind

you played with fire

no surprise you burned yourself

I’m higher

than your comfort and your wealth

what happens

when we lack our humanity

is now what you taste

with astringency

you want me to forget

you want me to regret

you want me to let go

I won’t let go

all right

I was taught to be so unkind

love doesn’t have to be so blind

oh I’m so unkind
