gull you betrayed me.
you set out to kill me.
you made life difficult for me,
turning people against me.
you fed off the sympathy
that should have been mine
and you let me starve.
you didn’t deserve such a feast.
you knew my stomach ached
but you wouldn’t even throw me a few scraps.
that’s how greedy and selfish you are.

my heart bled for you, for your shame.
that night, sitting on my front wall
the stars in the sky
our only witness to the cold, hard truth.
you poured your heart out to me,
you told me your secrets.
i almost told you mine... but didn’t.
had i, it could have been
so much easier.
or so much harder.
who knows?

we’d have taken you in,
you could have lived with me.
my father said you could.
we’d have had a riot.
you poor child, working three jobs
a paper round too
just to put clothes on your back
and food down your throat.
your clothes were different
and your hair was never clean.
i felt sorry for you.

but our friendship was never built on
my pitying you. i’m not like that.
i looked well beyond your poverty
to your good points, though lots of people didn’t.
the people you class
as your friends now
didn’t look beyond it.
all they saw was a pitiful girl.
you silly bitch, you don’t realise it.
you don’t realise that they laughed
at you then like they laugh at me now.

...
gull You stole from me. I grassed on you.
I got you into trouble, but not really.
I played with you by pretending,
pretending to be something so evil.
And I laughed at you. We all did.
We laughed at your fear and concern.
We rolled on the floor, we laughed so much.
We wanted to scare you, you see?
The plan was to freak you out.
I did it best of all.
I had the gift.

So, we fell out. That was the plan.
It wasn’t my plan, but I went along with it.
So much has happened since,
I don’t even remember why we wanted
to make you truly hate us.
But fall out we did, and it was great.
Then they broke the silence and made up.
But not me, not us. I’d never back down.
I knew there’d be trouble
because I felt it in my bones that night.
And I was right. (Wasn't I always?)

Damn you.
You twisted things.
You stirred things.
Our silence wasn’t broken,
but you broke their silence.
God knows, I wish it had lasted forever,
then none of this would have happened.
Then I wouldn’t feel like I feel now.
Then I wouldn’t have to see your smile
each time I close my eyes.
You’re smirking at me. I want to kill you.
