You threw your wrathful
Boomerang at me
But dearest, blindest
Did you listen to me?

What goes around
Comes back around

Your boomerang hits you
Straight in the face
Inevitably
Blinding pace
You see it coming
But you don’t turn down
Your bloody words
Pin yourself into the ground

That taunted me all my life
Each pain is thrown back at you
Each a razor-sharp knife

What goes around

Would come back around
Knocking you
I twiddle my thumbs
Waiting for that day
I survived your chain hold
But I’m amused when I say when I say
Your days are numbered
Ending at last
You wrathful boomerang
Comes back around at last
