No Idea

You say you know me
You have no idea
How much of a lie that is

You’ve never asked
Never heard my real cries
Because – Let’s be honest –
You don’t care one bit

You say you know me

But you have no idea

You don’t know my past
The early years
What happened
And what haunts me still
From those days

You say you know me
But you don’t

You don’t know my pain
Never saw my tears
Or bother to look
At what so obviously
Lies under my clothes

You say you know me
But you can’t possibly

Only the knife knows
Takes knowledge
Takes memories
As it slices through weak flesh

Only it
Is my true friend

And you
You're just a stranger

One who doesn’t know me.
