You held the knife
You held the knife. All along I thought it was fine because you held the knife But apparently everything was wrong I was wrong Wrong about you and all that I thought you could be I thought I could trust you. But no. You held the knife facing me Waiting for your chance Holding the handle with all you might As it sits in...

Thistle and steel
The heather weeps, a purple bruise, Across the glens, the chilling news. No bagpipes drone a mournful sound, But sirens wail on hallowed ground. A thistle bleeds, its prickling crown, As innocence is stricken down. Young eyes, once bright with Highland fire, Now gleam with something dark and dire. The steel they flash, a twisted boast, A stolen childhood, dearly lost. Each shadowed lane, a...

Premium Member Ollie Onion Tells off the Kitchen Knife
Ollie onion had never been this mad in his life He turned all his anger on the kitchen knife How dare you try to peel me, you interloper, he said. The knife was embarrassed, his face turned red.

A Knife Through My Hole
… You advance by the step, destined to accelerate my heartbeat; I have a tendency to feign nonchalant despite my rapid, unsteady breathing. Petrification courses through me as you stop, millimeters in front of me; shockingly, your touch is quite gentle as you tilt my chin upwards, I notice your grin. It seems as if you want me...

The Relentless Saga Part 3: The Knife In The Dark
Betrayal cuts deepest when it wears a smile, a friend turned foe, a shadow turned to blade. You plotted with my enemies, unseen, waiting for the moment to strike your blow, believing trust once shattered could destroy. But know that karma stands, a silent judge, the friend who writes the ledger of our deeds. Each wound you left became a spark in...

The Liar With The Knife
When I’m with you, It fills up my entire body. This isn’t love, It’s hatred. It’s despair. And It’s ugly. When you’ll finally see me, That’s what you’ll see. I know it, So please, don’t know. Someday, I’ll give you my petal, For you to feel me, See me empty and naked. I can’t help but hope you’ll see a little girl, She’s smiling. I want her to. It’s not right,...

Hindsight 20 20
We found him lying on the cold Stainless table inside the morgue With only a thin piece of cloth Draped over him, still as moth. He didn’t come home the night before, So we just left an unlocked door; At noon next day a neighbor came, Who heard on the radio a name That somehow sounded much like his. Stunned, we hoped it was...

Premium Member Haunted
Darkness. Eyes widen more and more, trying in vain to see. Then other senses compensate, I hear the faint rustle of dry leaves. My body caught in the shock of fear, refuses to move, but I feel the wet tickle of a tear, a lonely path from eye to ear. Fast and shallow my breathing so loud, the throb...

The Illusions of Love
"Illusions of Love" Judged at every stage, condemned from the start, Labelled and demonized—torn apart. Mistreated, ill-treated, seen as a threat, Running for safety but never safe yet. Love, an illusion, elusive at best, A dream we chase but never possess. Mother, grandmother, lover, or wife— All turn cold, cutting deep like a knife. From society’s glare to the home’s dark gaze, The criticism burns...
