He wishes for her to suffer and be swallowed by the mess she left behind. He is envious of her success and feels that he deserves it more. He wants to tear off her happy face and see her suffer as he does. He looks back on a time when he was happy and fantasizes about tragedy. He wants his partner to understand his pain and listen to his cries.
