We Don’t Have To Tell You Where Your Husband Is

We don’t have to tell you

Where your husband is

Let’s get that straight

Let’s make sure

We’re very much, uh

On the same page

About that

We do not have to give you

Any information

Regarding the whereabouts

Of your husband

We don’t even have to tell you

Whether or not

He’s alive

We don’t have to tell you

Anything

And you can make demands

But your demands

Are something

You have been told

Your whole life

You entitled to make

You are entitled

To make demands

That’s what you believe

Because

Up until now

When you’ve done it

It’s worked

And it’s not going to work

Anymore

Now

That might come

As a shock to you

I expect it will

But what you are

About to learn

Or you’re learning

Right now

You’re learning

That

Everything works

Until it doesn’t

And a responsible person

When they have a child

The way your parents

Had you

Should teach that child

That they shouldn’t expect

Anything

To work

Forever

All the things that used

To place you somewhere

Towards the top

Of the world

Are no longer

Accessible

To you

Do you understand that?

We have taken those things

Away

From you

And what’s more

It was always our right

To take them

They were not yours

They were something

We let you have

So you felt better

And so you didn’t

Walk through this world

Crying all the time

Not because we care

If you feel bad

But because we hate

The sound

Of crying

And just like we’ve taken

Your resources

We have also taken

Your husband

And we do not have to tell you

Where he is

Or why we took him

And if it wasn’t already obvious
Let’s just point out

That we have no obligation

To give him back

He, like you,

Owns nothing

He, like you,

Has access

To nothing

He, like you,

Has been allowed

To breathe

And exist

For as long as we felt

He should be allowed

To do so

That’s how it boils down

We will tell you

What we’re about to tell you

Because we feel like

Telling it to you

But we do not have to

Just, let’s--

Let’s be very clear

About that

We don’t have to

Now we can begin

Our conversation

Now that we all know

How this is going

To go
