Just me and my knife

by Krysten   Jan 11, 2006


You took away my freedom
you took away my blade
you locked me in my room
and hoped the pain would fade

you hid all of the sharp things
the ones that i could use
you were determined to win
your little girl, you couldn't lose

you yelled and you screamed
you pretended not to care
you tried everything
my pain you couldn't bare

yet you should have asked
if i wanted a change in my life
i was doing just fine
just me and my knife

so you took all i had
and tried to keep me away
from all the evil things
you see in life each day

i know that you love me
and i have a good life
but leave me alone
just me and my knife

give back my things
and I'll pretend to be okay
I'll deal with the pain
another time and day

just give back my stuff
and I'll put on a smile
I'll act really happy
at least for a while

but soon I'll be back
to my same old life
once again together
just me and my knife

    Another marvelous poem. You've got 'It'. Very few poets on this website put so much depth into each write, you are one that does and it's a pleasure to get a chance to read such artwork. This one reminds me of one of mine I haven't put up yet but it's Titled 'Razor In My Life.' Great job, stay strong.
