A Terse Affair

I didn't know 
          that I'm the first
I didn't know
          you were coerced
I didn't know
          your every verse
I didn't know
          they were rehearsed
I didn't know
          the truth at first
I didn't know
          you'd be the worse
I didn't know
           you'd be my curse.
