An Unsheathed Dagger

The tear cut across the page It's cry pierced the silence Then another Bitterness in each hand, finger Finally Parts left of a veiled note, about me contents opened for me, for me Anger lacing the uneven edges Betrayal had danced upon the lines Taunting Across the page, each line was a stab Into my back A cold-eyed girl with a blunt sword Of hurtful words and A fair-skinned girl with a shining shield That broke Both stand by my side, but one drifts away Wrote those nettles of words Each momentarily paralyzed me Tranquialized Until the end Undecisive was I Wether to scream in mocking anger Or cry, betrayal But realization surfaced Cold eyes belong in dark depths Away from the light, the innocent Forgiveness was a smile of the past A sweet thing, it was But time itself had been another chance After the many millions A sheen of frigid ice settled My heart A silent flame burned away My tears I could have shed But by now I was someone else Someone filled with hate, Pride The new sheet I pulled out Was clean And my stiff words of truth Spilled onto it's white innocence and Tainted it with darkness Tainted it with poison The poison of the words I held back For decades
