Take your knife and line it up. Make me bleed, just for a cup. Plunge it deep and pierce my soul, It was yours to keep, yet here we roll.
I think I got run over by a truck, But maybe that’s ‘cause I gave a ****. Go ahead and twist your knife, My once well-loved now spiteful wife.
In my suffering you bask, As blood drips out despite my mask. I think it’s time to make it real, These visions and thoughts I feel.
The stage is set, messages left. Time for self inflicted theft. There’s a hole in my chest, And you thought I spoke in jest.
The last laugh is mine.
A proper relationship poem that has nothing to do with my ex, for once. I created this out of a single mental image: a woman holding a knife and standing over a man laying down with his literal heart exposed and vulnerable. I’m happy with how the flow and tone of this poem turned out, hopefully you are as well.
