Don't ever tell me
I was quick to run

Don't ever say
I should have stayed
Somewhere that turned love
Into a farce of hate and pain

I always gave
What I could give
Longer than I
Could really give it

And no one's arms
Were waiting
To catch me
When I lost it

The wounds were always mine
To claim

Judge me
And you shall be judged
Against the still common tactic that women should be caring, and deserve the suffering they get, and should be shamed if they refuse to put up with it.

I envision this as part of (perhaps the ending to) a quiet monologue to someone's lover.
