(though at times when reading this it may appear as if it's about suicide, know that it has nothing to do with it...)


THE KNIFE:

Once I thought of times gone by
As places, pictures, faces
Now it's changed and though I try
The steps my mind replaces

Empty hearts, nothing fills
To me the circle means:
Trusted promise, blood spills
Over hurtful, wasted scenes

As much as I have loved and dared
To give my heart, love, life
Returning, broken and prepared
To lift the power, graded, knife

Against me, into, through my soul
It cuts to deeper hurt
Dividing, tearing, what once was whole
The knife: rejection's revert.

Sylvia.

Sylvia, this is very good. I didn't think it was about suicide, but I'm glad you put the disclaimer there.. I look forward to reading more from you.
