Ugly Laugh

Spare me your bitter laughter

Lacking any sense

Spare me your useless banter

Just give me some space

Hiding your incompetence

behind a mask of humour

You're not a good person, darling

for us there's no future

Stop acting so arrogant, I hate it

but it actually makes me sad

Stop giving me that ugly laugh, I hate it

but your jokes aren't actually so bad
