You Bothered Mine

Scott Whitby, 2020



You bothered mine

I can bother too

I'm not a bully

But I'm bigger than you


Some things aren't worth it

But others are

Too bad for you

You started a war


Before she was mine

I made to God a truce

Give her to me

You'll have less to do


I'd take a bullet

Jump before a train

Go to prison for her

Take charge of the pain


And He answered so loud

He said "we got a deal"

Protect her forever

Even if you have to kill


Now you said the wrong words

And did the wrong thing

You took advantage

You'll feel the pain


You knew the rules

I made them so clear

If you hurt my girl

You have me to fear


But you had to do it

Ignored what I told

Now you have to pay

Forever in a hole


We take a long walk

You cry it's not fair

I listen to you cry

But I do not care


Told God what I'd do

Promised as I said

Told him not to bother

Trust me with the dead


So now you have to hurt

Now it's you that's bothered

Too late for sorry

A few steps farther


Hole's already dug

Never to be found

You lay beside the others

Forever in the ground


You ask to do over

Failing your one chance

This hole is now your home

You failed at romance


My only regrets

Trust me, there are few

You can't tell the others

How it ended for you
