Darkend Fairy Tale

In the shadow lies a dream
a fairy tale, or so it seemed
from which way do the daggers fly
weither right before you
or to the side
though once or twice your sure to stumble
a pain as sharp as nails
for when the daggers in your back
you look to see a trail
a trail of life
from past to present
its red hue in your midst
and if the eyes before you
are those of a friend
the dagger's sure to twist
until the very end
