Better Knife Than Person

The venom of what I just spoke, still dripping off my lips and tongue.

A smirk laced my lips as her eyes water.

Tears brim.

We snarled at each other, mouths drawn back revealing sharp teeth, and sharper words.

It was like looking in a mirror but I was cracked and distorted.

Broken.

My words clawed and scratched, yet I felt no remorse

I won, the blood from the battle on my hands dripping

My smile was wicked and insane

The air acidic, burning with every word spoken

I had won, and I had hurt, yet I felt no remorse

I didn't care that I had hurt someone I should love because I won

I should feel bad but I don't

I felt victorious

That was the moment I realized I was a better knife than I person

Better at stabbing then caring

Better a hurting than comforting

Yes you can use a knife to butter toast but you can also use it to hurt

I may change my actions but I cannot change the nature of the knife that is my heart

Believe me I've tried

I've tried to be nice and soft but it is not who I am

I am a wolf, even in sheep's clothing I have claws and teeth

The devil is still the devil wrapped in silk

I want to be good and pure

But I am not

Gods I am not

I like the pain I cause others

I like winning even at the cost of a shattered heart

My mind was broken by the harsh world

A world that does no know how to care, only how to stab

A world that does not comfort, only hurt

And so I have become the thing that hurt me most

A knife
