a tool for many uses\
a blade that seldom muses\
the edge dramatic\
feeling deep, somatic\
and from you, the blood, it oozes
+++
It cuts so deep into my flesh\
A spot left raw by bruise unknown\
Weakened right the way down to bone\
Throughout time as though damage fresh

Something you had meant to be kind\
But my knee-jerk is to despise\
So I put up a foolish guise\
And instinctively stab out blind
