Stroking Razors

I watched the blood dribble
down past my pale knee
it was pretty, from what I could see
But as I learned of my deserving of better things
The world that laid before me said
'Hello, I am here to please you'
In return, I said, 'I am here to please me, too'
It's final words to me:
'You knew that all along'
