Those Who Let You Drown

There is something very alluring about those who let you drown,

Then pull your corpse out of the water whenever they’re in town.

They will unleash their maggots and let them consume your brain,

But as soon as you speak up, they will just shiver in faux pain.

There is something pleasing about those who forget your name

Just to call you at 1 AM and complain without any shame.

They will cut lives and throats because greed is their virtue.

If you call them out, they will blame you for their torture.

Still, the rest will watch this unravel like it isn’t a real issue.

The best they can do is give you a Band-Aid or hand you a used tissue.

If it bleeds, it leads, and they don’t care about what caused it.

As long as someone screams, they won’t dare to pause it.
