Face the world alone

This blade,
My fickle friend,
This secret attachment,
Many times have I endured your metallic kiss,
Felt your sharp tongue,
Hidden you from the world,
But now the time has come,
To put you to one side,
To give you up,
To return to the rest of the world,
My fickle friend,
My secret partner,
I must now face the world alone,
Face this cruel existence,
Leave you,
Remove you,
Face the world alone.
