"Here, these are for you."

And he tossed me the pair

Of wire cutters he used

to chop off my hair

as I slept in the tent

in his backyard

we were barely ten years old

thought life was so hard

to me, he never felt right

I just rolled my eyes

and took them from him

"Yeah, if I meet someone else

with that opinion

I'll use them."

and after all these years

he still just dosen't see

there's only barbed wire

around my heart

when he's near me
