The Kill

Hannah Kemp

I saw your mother cry 
now I know why 
You kept on sneaking out  
and left her behind 
You wait for night to turn  
to take everything 
You were the best of her  
but you weren’t the best to me. 

You were the only one  
I felt it from the start 
You saw something in me  
then tore it apart 
Some words hurt more over time  
you know it too well 
I don’t want your sympathy  
you went in for the kill.
