but we weren't
she wasn't as perfect
as all those pictures
told
she nagged and yelled
and pointed a finger
at all i did
you didn't know her
and what she was growing
inside of herself
would have been against me
too
he'd be staring at me
with her cold black eyes
measuring each weakness
all she did that day
was walk away
back to me
shoulders squared
all i saw was her
stomping out
face forward
towards the storm
i didn't do anything
to her
that she didn't do
to herself
i swear
