He Did It

Yes, he was your brother

Yes, you loved him till the end

Yes, you adored him

Yes, you wanted to be his friend

But no, he should go to hell

No, he deserves to die

No, he hated you till his last breath

No, he made you cry

No, he was the perpetrator of all of your issues

No, he was the owner of all of your wet tissues

But yes, maybe it was his upbringing

Yes, he isn't to be blamed for his pitfall

Yes, it was the parent’s fault

Yes, he wanted to protect you from it all

But no, no one was there that day

No, no one knew what he did

No, no one saw him hit you

No, no one saw any regret

No, no one saw that bruise

No, no one saw your tears

No. no one saw his marks on you

No, no one saw them disappear

But yes, maybe it's your fault

Yes, you saw his secret drawer

Yes, you dared to spill the beans

Yes, you got him in trouble

Yes, it was your felony

Yes, he was mad at you

Yes, you gave him every right to

But no, that was just one encounter

No, everyone forgot that night

No, everyone forgot that time

No, everyone forgot he touched you

No, everyone forgot you cried

No, everyone forgot he kicked you

No, everyone forgot his smile

No, everyone forgot his intoxication

No, everyone forgot his might

But yes, maybe you forced him to do it

Yes, you didn’t heed his wishes

Yes, you went out of your way

Yes, you did it without his permission

Yes, you decided to stay up late

Yes, you saw his late-night parties

Yes, you met his guests and played

Yes, you saw them laugh at him

Yes, you saw his blood-red rage

But no, this isn't enough

No, what about that fateful week

No, what about that fateful hour

No, what about the time he cursed you

No, what about the time he hurt you

No, what about the time he almost ran you over

No, what about the time he left you

No, what about the time he went home alone

No, what about the time he abused you

No, what about the time he used you

No, what about the time he left you in the cold

No, what about the time he left you by the open window

No, what about the time he pushed you down the stairs

No, what about the time he pulled and cut your hair

No, what about the time he locked you in that dark attic

No, what about that time he mocked your fear and made you static

No, what about the time he wished you never existed

No, what about the time he tried to make his wish come true

But yes, he did it because of….

Yes, he did it due to….

Yes, he did it for…

Yes, he did it.
