racist and homophobic ex


My blood is boiling

How can you love me if you don't love others

How can I love you if you don't love others

My face is hot and wet and it's because of you

You say you're sorry but you’re only sorry that I was mad at you

You are selfish

You're not really sorry about what I wish you were

And it makes me wonder if you have compassion for others, do you care about them

Because I don't think I can love you if you don't love them too
