Disguises

Who needs you? I can hurt myself.

That was your real contribution -

Pain, in its many disguises -

And you wanting absolution.



Ain't it a laugh? Ain't it funny?

It's a real riot! What a joke!

I looked to you for protection,

You looked on me as just a yoke.



Well, you've moved on to another.

I hope you don't practise your skills

Or else your relationship will

Suffer through all of the same ills.
