That Knife

In my back is bleeding me dry

for one who claims to wear her heart on her sleeve

it is an awful shade of black

When you coat your words

in that sweet sticky cream

it makes me want to believe,

believe that you are telling me the truth

as you slide that steel between my ribs

and that little sigh of oh

that slips from between my dying lips

and the rage that follows

that lasts for all of two hours

because you sweet talk your way out

oh those words you throw in my face

and act like your superior to me

when I know I could kill you

in four small words

"you're dead to me"
