Kindness Calculus

Verse

I flip the kindness into calculus: every smile carried interest that I compound (compound),

You robbed the bank of my name, now I'm the fee you can't file down.

Best friend? Nah, beneficiary of theft, you wrote my will in your favor (favor),

I wrote the lines you recite, now every verse I drop's a razor savior.

Mad at the memory of our lunches, your laugh was a map to the theft (map),

You mapped exits in our photos, tore the seams, took the rest.

I mean it like an oath under breath — not a threat, it's a promise (promise),

Even if I'm six feet, I'm the rumor in your ear that scrapes the varnish.

My kindness was currency you gambled with, poker-faced dealer, ace up your sleeve (ace),

Now I'm the house edge, the math in your fall, every bet that makes you grieve.

I don't need you to bleed, just watch the collapse of what you bought (watch),

I watched you price our past in dollars and now you count a cost you never sought.

Madness isn't noise — it's methodical, a manuscript of cold lines (cold),

I learned to be patient, then predator; patience the trap, predator the find.

You think you escaped with the bag? Nah, you inherited ghosts with interest (ha),

I'll be the echo in your porch steps, the frost on your glass — persistent.

If I'm dead, I'm a rumor that'll rot your name from the town to the block (rot),

If I'm alive, I'm a verdict — you already paid, I'm just collecting the clock.

I loved you patient, I loved you loud, I loved you like a flag on a ship (flag),

You sold the flag for metal, now watch the same metal sink your ship.

"Forgive" used to be a hymn, now it's a hex in my lips (uh-huh),

I mean it — kindness to madness, it's a flip, it's eclipse (flip, flip).
