On straightening your back.

You said to call you for forgiveness, but
I broke my phone in so much bits
You said to mail you for a meetup, but
Your next e-mail headlined 'bitch'

I heard you yell about me changing
and about my promises
You called me worthless and forgotten
And your sharp words didn't miss

Hell, they carved into my skin and
they burned down my dignity
I swear to all the gods I know
I won't hate, but I won't pity

You said I'd changed but I'd stopped acting
You said that I walked a different way,
but I wish you would have realized
I just walked upright that day
You accused me of forgetting all
that had meant the world to you but
all your memories are thin
I'd even say see-through

Your words were meant to make me hurt
and they were meant to make me cry
but somehow I survived and my
spirit didn't die
I'd wished you had not forgotten
about all that made me smile
I swear all that I forget
Is simply not worthwile
I'd wished you realized
the radio's best is noise
if instead I can recall
the rhythm of your voice

But you were sure I didn't care and I won't even ever fight
If for you it's negative when your lover walks upright.
