Backstab
The spikes pierce through your heart
Burying deep beneath tangled layers
Striking further than any harmful word
Diving into the currents that sleep within
Darkness rises, spilling from the depths
While lips part in acceptance
Taking another breath in anticipation
Well up through the wounds created
A single tear reflecting in starlight
Hovering as time slows to an eternal second
Crashing into the ground as the moment ends
Bleeding through the soil beneath you
The fractured façade of another life
Destroyed beneath the warm night air
Repeated words echo in farewell
Leaving you lying in abandoned fields
