is this a family?

17 2 4
                                    

you could write songs with that hurt

but you package it up and weaponize it 

and take it out on those you "love" most


dont get offended

why dont you tell me

are those quotation marks justified?


do you love me

or are you just a liar

its hard to believe the former

when you havent given me much evidence

to the contrary 


and you call yourself

a good family member 


                                                  - last time i checked, family wasnt 

                                                                  supposed to hurt like this
