The Bad Guy

Treated her like shit for 20 years
And I'm the bad guy.

Ignored her and thought only of yourself
And I'm the bad guy

Did whatever you wanted and left her behind
And I'm the bad guy

Deprived her of love and companionship
And I'm the bad guy

She put up with it without a peep
And I'm the bad guy

Let you make the rules and fix the game
And I'm the bad guy

Wouldn't stand up for herself
And I'm the bad guy

Just sat there hoping things would change
And I'm the bad guy

I smiled and offer a shoulder
And I'm the bad guy

I listened and cared
And I'm the bad guy

Gave her the strength see a new road
And I'm the bad guy

Made her remember what its like to be touched
And I'm the bad guy

Could have waited for her to break free and clear
And I'm the bad guy

Didn't need to chase her
And I'm the bad guy

We can't always choose who we fall for
And I'm the bad guy

We can choose what we do about it
And I'm the bad guy

Maybe I am

Rambler, the narrator in the poem seems very real, but the "you" and the "she" seem like pale projections, shadows on a screen. Hmm.
