The Wrongs in a Household

"Switching and turning and twisting and burning
Are the things you shouldn't do,"
He told me

So I stayed in one place with him and I stayed and I stayed
And I stayed and I stayed
Never switching, never turning
Definitely not twisting nor burning
And I stayed in one place with him for the longest of times

Eight days had passed before there was a click in him
He came home with golden jewelries for me
And the next day a new television, a laptop, a car
And I realized right then while I stayed, he switched
He switched to debt

Two weeks went past of me staying and he became angry
He became the angriest man alive
Shouting bits of nonsense like,
"WHERE WERE YOU TODAY?!"
And I realized while I stayed, he turned
He turned on me

In the next year or so, with all the grievances laid down
Alcohol entered the house by the boatload and his frown
And while I saw his track record as black and dirty it could get
This man put his eyes on me and used me to extent
In his drunken gaze he told me all I did
When none ever happened
And staying bloody on the floor I had epiphanies
That he twisted himself badly

So then one day in particular
When the sun was coming down like a landing plane
I stayed and I saw coming home from the day
That he didn't stay with me
There it was, a smoldering house
And he burned because of me
