You told her not to worry
and she listened.
You told her she could do it
and she believed.
You told her to smile
and she pretended to be happy.
You joked that she was fat
and she forced herself to puke.
You told her to loosen up
and she didn't want to.
You hit her
and it hurt,
but you told her it didn't happen,
and so it didn't.
You told them she was pathetic
until she was.

You told her she didn't deserve to live
and then she didn't.
