Love Is No Knife
I’m great, I’m good – can’t you see this smile? (it’s fake)
I draw, I write, I eat
All with a bright glint in my eyes,
Can’t you see I’m living? (but I’m counting down the seconds ‘till I die)
Every movement (false)
Every smile (who says they’re genuine – I have to grit my teeth to keep the bitterness inside)
Today someone nearly saw through my façade (I’ll have to try harder tomorrow, my composure is slipping)
And I shed a single tear at home,
No more, no less
The splash as it hits my cheek echoes around my room (so loud I scrub it away before anybody hears it)
Stop being so kind to me,
Get away from me!
You’re a beast, I hate you.
I don’t need anyone to know me; I have my mind [but how long will he be there for?]
(please hold me
unscramble my garbled sentences
clasp our clammy hands together
shed single rose petals at my door
i love you, i love you)
NO.
Love may keep you warm; but hate keeps you safe.
