We Might As Well Be

I can’t wake up from this nightmare we've made
  from love, distrust and our desperate son—
    the loneliest creature; broken homemade.   
      what didn’t I do and what have you done?
        sorry to inform you, you’re not the one—
          you spoke to me in a backwards fashion
            trading some misplaced anger for passion
              displaced once more with the hate you would hide,
                I opened my heart and you threw trash in
                  if god is love, then let death be our guide.
