Murderers

Murderers
We are all murderers,
We take our nooses 
And hang our personalities.
You take a gun
And blow a hole through what I do
I take my knives 
And shred your intelligence.
He takes her dreams
And drowns them.
She takes everything that he’s become 
And burries it alive.
We take everything we hope to do
And cutt it off,
Leaving it no hope of survivng.
You take my persona
And build it up,
Just to knock it down.
I take my razors 
And watch your feelings,
Trickle out of your throat.
This is who we all are.
