i want to avenge my broken heart
why do these lame excuses for men
promising comfort
always give out a ticket to hell instead
as i sit waiting for him
i cram my anger
here in the spot where love was
it gets me nowhere
it pulls me down deep inside
maybe i’m too used to this empty space
This took a couple of readings. So full of complicated thoughts, including the way women tend to beat themselves up over the partner who wasn’t worth anything to us, really. Well done!

Thanks so much, Amy! Yes, unfortunately, we do. It becomes a long drawn-out situation when it really shouldn’t be.
