Punishment
Where are the words I thought were inside me
Where are the chances you said I would take
I’ve been sitting at this oven
While my food is burning
Not thinking to take it out
Where is the whip you said you’d hit me with
What am I being punished for again
How long were you going to be?
Where were you going after that?
I thought emotions were all I needed
They were the key to your heart
Nothing like climbing the wrong tree looking for shelter.
