I Cant Reach the Knife In My Back, So I Cant Roll Over While Sleeping-
Can you turn
Around and tell
Lies with your eyes
And fibs with your face
Because it hurts
To see your smile
Develop, superimposed
And not visible to the
naked eye. It hurts to
see your childish
“He hit me first!”
mentality suddenly slip
between the planes of
maturity and loyalty.
And it hurts too much
to take this lying down,
‘cause the knife in my back
really hurts when I try and
roll over. Thanks for the
lesson, I soaked up your
soul with a sponge, to
be wrung out the next time
trust tells me a new story.
