The Knife

The knife,
A symbol of many things,
Of betrayal, of lack of trust,
Of relief, of respite,
Of pain, of never-ending pain.

It's a cliché,
You've stabbed me in the back,
It's an escape,
Used to get away from life,
It causes heartbreaking pain,
Pain for the person using it,
And for the person's family.

The knife,
It's silver, sharp and dangerous,
All it does is cause hurt,
Everything it's associated with,
Causes someone unbearable pain...

The knife,
The ultimate source of suffering,
The ultimate cause of misery.
