Should've Known This Would Happen

I think she should’ve known this would happen

When that straight-A girl became the one who’d sneak out past midnight,

And the cries would become some sort of hindsight.
When the person that her mother knew so well, 

Became that of her own outer shell.

I think she should’ve known this would happen

When she who knew nothing about being gay became one who kissed another girl,

Liked it, and it became her whole world.

When the one who would never lie to her own parents,

Becomes one of the sins that she inherits.

I think she should’ve known this would happen,

When she didn’t know what else to do, 

Except for bleeding out like a withdrew.

When her mind became so heavy,

Like it wasn’t already?

And even after all of those cries past the hours,

When everyone else is like sleeping towers

Dreaming of dancing in a field of flowers,

All of these voices echo around devours,

And yet she’s the one who overpowers,

Because for some reason someone else thought the same,

So she’s the one who should be ashamed.

She’s the one who should be blamed 

She’s the one who should be engulfed in flames.

But who says he,

Wasn’t lying about those voices,

And maybe it was his own choices,

To manipulate her more,

For his own starting of a war. 

That still yet hasn’t ended

Maybe that was intended.

I think she should’ve known this would happen

When she didn’t know how else to feel,

And all her emotions would make her peal,

Like she didn't have some sort of ideal.

When she couldn’t eat a single meal,

Cause of all the guilt she’d conceal.

I think she should’ve known this would happen

When what she wanted didn’t feel like an option,

All it felt like was a toxin.

For me nor her that had to take,

For it was Satan as a snake,

I think she should’ve known this was a big mistake.
