Why were you never there?

When I was lost,

You were gone.

Why were you never there?

Was I an unworthy person?

Was I unwanted?

I’m sorry.

Please take me back,

This place is scaring me.

I’m sorry.

You weren’t there…

Because I was never there either.

So I have no right to talk.

No right to laugh.

No right to sleep.

No right to eat.

No right to…

Do anything like we used to.

But,

You always come back…

Always seeming to repel my question onto me.

You always ask,

“Why were you never there?”

And I, I always reply,

“I am where,

I want you to be.”

You’re very kind.

You never seem to take advantage of me,

Force me to do anything.

But, you see…

That’s exactly why I…

Have to say…

“I hate you.”

And I can say it so cleverly,

In ways that you see as…

“Loving gestures”…

Things like picking up your clothes…

But when you look,

Am I really being nice?

Like that time I put a scorpion in your bed?

You just laughed and said,

“I must o left the door open.”

What a liar you are.

A sweet, naive liar.

But you know.

On closer inspection,

There’s no possible way for this to happen…

The deadly animal was put…

Exactly where he would blend in.

You know,

Yes I’m sure you know.

I’m sorry.

What was it you were saying?

I’m sorry.

It was a mistake on my part.

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry.

How I despise that word.

So…

Sayonara Pharaoh.
