The blade of betrayal

It didn't hurt when the knife went in,

It didn't even matter, that's how thin

The line was between love and hate,

I didn't feel the weight of fate.

It wasn't the cut, the blood, the mess,

It was the truth, the lies I couldn't suppress.

You were supposed to be my safe, my best,

But you turned out to be my biggest test.

I didn't scream, didn't make a sound,

But when I turned, you let me down.

It wasn't the pain that tore me apart,

It was realizing you'd never been my heart.

So I shoved it deeper, couldn't even cry,

I wanted to feel something, but didn't know why.

It wasn't the knife, it was you I couldn't bear,

And I drove it in, because life felt unfair.
