Seeing Red

Tormenter won't leave me be,
I try to be pleasant, ignore it, see,
But she seems to think I like her,
I don't, and about her I don't care.

She talks about me, thinks I can't hear,
Even when I'm really near.
I think I want to end her life,
And, with it, end my lonely strife.

But then I think, that would mean she'd won,
Ended my chance to have some fun.
My future ruined, a criminal record,
To throw away my future I can't afford.

And so, though I'm lonely and I don't enjoy my time,
When I look at her test grades I feel sublime,
For while I have a chance at the job I'm after,
She'll likely be sat behind a checkout at ASDA.
