drawing you in
you're captured
exactly where they wantedlemon

pinch my eyeslet me cry out my thoughts
that i whimpered at nightlet the knife slash the skin
of a lemon
for it has sinned
more that you can imaginelemon

knifei apologise
if i leave you
behindthe sting has caught up to me
and i find myself runningi always wanted to be here
but never heard myself comingand here i am
with two hands
holding
a lemon
and
a knifelemon
you're so poor
watching over your other sidetake examples from the knife
who only has themselves to fightalone
or strongthe question remains
from your two hands
what would you choose
a knife
or a lemondamage will be done
to your skin or to your brain
choose wisely or you might just
end up feeling the sameso with your heart so melodic
returning to the beat
pick what is less concerning
of a future that you can't seelemon

and the curtains cannot hideyour lemon
and
your knife22:22 18/12/2018
