🖤 It’s In My Nature
by The Miracle Syndicate

He said he wouldn’t hurt me —
Said it clear, said it twice.
He smiled when he promised,
Didn’t blink when he lied.
We stood at the river.
He asked if I could swim.
I said I could carry him —
And sing out a sailor’s hymn.

He didn’t thank me.
He didn’t ask.
He just climbed on
Like I was built
To last.

“It’s in my nature,”
That’s all he said.
While the water closed over
What could’ve been instead.
It’s in my nature —
No plea, no shame.
He left me sinking
With his name in my throat.

He told me he was different.
He told me he was cold.
He said it like a warning
But wrapped it in gold.
He was quiet halfway through,
Held on just right —
Then leaned to my ear
And killed us both that night.

He didn’t flinch.
He didn’t pause.
He just let go
Without ever
Letting on.

“It’s in my nature,”
That’s what he said.
No hint of regret,
No tilt of his head.
It’s in my nature —
No fear, no plea.
He left me sinking
With his name in me.

The current was slower
Than I thought it would be.
He watched the sky
As he dragged me beneath.

Now when I meet someone kind,
I squint at their hands.
Not because they’ll hurt me —
But because I still understand.

It’s in my nature —
To carry what hurts.
To take the weight,
Even when it gets worse.
It’s in my nature —
To float when I should leave.
To believe something soft
In someone built to deceive.

It's in my nature.
