The Pen Is Mightier

Hidden in your lies 
is the truth uncovered 
From the deepest wound 
Left an awful scar here 

I fought in hell 
To save one's dignity
I roared your name 
Like steel 
Cutting cold ice 

Deep enough 
To feel pain 
Beautiful turns ugly sour  
the skin almost creeps 
Falling a fine line unreal 

To cut at the razor's edge 
The face cuts truth 
In the deepest wound 
cold hard lies open cuts 
Did I ever know you 

The blackest heart 
A complete stranger 
Horrid ugly deceiver  
in what you done 
no respect shown 

Cold emotionless heart 
Cutting to the bone 
to look crazy upset 
over nothing 
Almost possessed 
Like shut down empty feelings 

Open the eyes 
An obstacle between us has grown 
like hitting an iceberg 
something is dreadfully wrong 
Then you drew the sword 

Shot me down 
Buried without closure
the bitter end 
Coldest cut frosted 
Scarred deep within 

The razor edge 
Straight through the centre 
Just like a knife
in searing pain 
The finest cut 

The tongue 
like a paper cut 
Drawn with the pen 
can cut deeper 
than any wound 
upon the sword
