Everything you had to say
Every. little. thing.
You used them as weapons
As knives
Every thought that came into your head was a knife in your hand
Like throwing knives you had sharpened them and aimed
Every sentence that came out of your mouth
Every word that entered the open air
Every single word sliced through the air like a throwing knife
The moment a word left your mouth, a knife was thrown
I always saw it coming
Every. single. Time.
The windup right before it’s thrown
Right before its said
Time standing almost still
As it slowly pierces through me.
The impact of the knife wedging into my heart
The impact of the words burning into my brain
Blood and tears
Knives and words
While I was at my most vulnerable
You saw me as a perfect target.
Perfect for throwing knives.
