So I stabbed you
But you didn't die
You barely even shed a tear
The gleam in your eye
Barely twinkling
From the tears

Turned around
To make me feel bad
But I'll always stab you
If I don't get caught

Change your view
Change your motivation
Change your opinion
More than you change your emotions
That change
Like the colours of a rainbow

Take your ideas
And twist them
Like balloon animals
Into whatever shape suffices
Suffices in making me suffer

You refused to die
So I removed the knife
Claim
It was all one big mistake
And forgive

I didn't go in any further
I didn't hit a vein
Although now I wish I did
Because, your balloon animals have popped
And now I see your lies

I made up an excuse
To try and give you another chance
But you were asking for blood

I wanted to protect you
By not saying the truth
But I was protecting nothing
And now I'm not afraid to tell the truth

But what really is the truth
If all you are is twisted lies
In concentric circles
Layers and layers
To this madness

I guess I'll stab you again
Then
