I Should Have

I should have turned When you said “I’ll be really disappointed If you’re not actually a virgin” I should have ran And never looked back I should never have given myself To the likes of you I should have given you a black eye Purely on the principle That I’ll never get that back I should have said “Go fuck yourself” When you smiled at me and said “I love you” Paused Then proceeded with “In a platonic way, of course. I’m just in it For the sex” I should have bashed your face in With my fist Purely on the principle that you took me And then proceeded to treat me Like something less than Like I wasn’t worthy Of anything other than fucking I should have screamed at your insensitivity because you hurt me I shouldn’t have been so passive So blindly in love With a self absorbed asshole That probably couldn’t love anything Other than the reflection You see in the mirror I should have knocked out a few of your teeth Purely on the principle That you made me love you And never bothered to try and learn how to love me back
