When someone’s troubled you
And finally the trouble finds them
You often say
“Huh, isn’t that funny”
You count your karmas,
Tally their fuck ups
Discuss if the punch
Was as hard as they deserve
After what they did to you
I thought I’d hear of your downfall
Your spiral, your slip up
And say
“Huh, isn’t that funny”
But I didn’t laugh
Or smile or revel in anything
I folded into myself
Trying to stop my imagination
From placing me in your shoes
Wishing you did someone else wrong
So maybe my broken heart
Would stop cursing you like this
Tears stained my cheeks
Now yours are cracked
Friends are coming back to me
As others turn theirs to you
My stories are being published
While yours are slung around
As entertainment for enemies
“Huh, isn’t that funny”
I’ve heard a few say
Some shake their head
Some lift their shoulders
Some puff their belly
Most keep silent
And take the updates home
To stew over and dissect
We used to laugh all day
“Huh, isn’t that funny”
We’d say, creased over
Giggling like kids
Before we became adults and lost
Each other and ourselves
But I found mine again
As you carried on being something else
For someone else to drown in
You sunk deeper into scum
With hospital visits
Midnight runarounds and city escapes
But there’s no amount of running
A girl can do
That will let her escape herself
Especially not girls
With heads like ours
I don’t want to keep hearing these things
To keep being told I was right
All along
I wish I was wrong
I wish I got it all misshapen
I wish I was the liar
Who made it all up to fuck you over
But that just ain’t reality
In fact it got worst after me
And at this point
There’s nothing I can do
But sit back and look away
Wait until the next shit talker
Comes to me to spill their information
And shake my head
Lift my shoulders
Puff my belly
And say
“Huh, isn’t that funny”
