Nasty Shark

Your snarky smile contradicts that "sorry"
It's twisted, just like your heart

You talk to me as if I am a child
Unable to see the shark

But, oh, I see the teeth when you grin
Waiting to rip the flesh from healed wounds

Gnashing and wildly flailing about
Leaving those around you in ruins 

A death stare coming from hardened eyes
I see you looking for your next meal

Yet I've prepared these years to battle
Burgeoning a callous heart to wield
