Sharper than knife that slits the skin
Is betrayal of trust
Harder than broken relationships
Is breach of trust
An enemy's knife stabs your flesh
A companion's, your soul
Metal blades rust with the enemy
With a companion they burn brighter
Sometimes you wish that a killer kills
Than having to die slow death of
a companion's murderous deceit
Just to realize your life had a price
for your companion
Makes you wish
Metal blades had seared the flesh.
A physical stab
bleeding to a physical end
better than a slow death
Bleeding the hurt of betrayal.
