Pocketknife

by Gabriella Lucinda Cormier - Taurus


redshifts and blueshifts
lines are killin me again
but hey who said flyin is a sin

the power to live
is something to die for
I have no more to give
I pour salt in my own sores

but the more skin I peel 
the more I heal
the further I slide the blade
the more that pain comes to my aid

I never handed it over to you
all I would've gave to you
but you stole my knife
and slid it in my heart

Reason for writing:

    amazing what a boring bus ride will do to an already depressed person, eh?
