Sympathy

I watch the glucose drip like water
I hear the fainted chatter around
I can feel my mum’s hand on mine
I can hear my father’s ringtone sound

They want to know who did this to me
They are breathing flames like they should be
And all I can think about is the fact that
How further to the edge you pushed me

This tragedy brought me unbearable pain
I threw my self-respect down the gutter
It’s crazy what big promises you used to make
But turned me down without a stutter

They tell me to get rid of every hint of you
While I think of ways to deliver you the notes
That’s the kind of love I had for you
That’s the kind of love you lost

Even people who hated me came forward for sympathy
Kept a check on me like I was one of their own
And it’s funny how everyone cares about me
Everyone except the one I thought was my home.
