Cheap Shot

You opened your mouth, to shoot out daggers

when I turned my back to you

What a cheap shot... you coward

spit your cutting words at me

and watch me heal faster than you can cut

I am not one to be whittled

And now I have new armor

so you can not cut me again

I bleed for me alone now
