Backstabbing

29 9 2
                                    

They sharpened their knife

With every word I said

And when they were done

I felt as though I was better off dead

Their words left wounds 

But the knife hurt most

A single, fatal blow 

A stab to the back 

A scar that doesn't show  

The cause of many a tear to be shed 

Frowns, forever withheld 

Because of a single knife

And a stab to the back.
