of blades and simple things

blades spin under the forgotten moon
caught within a whirlwind of lies
told to keep us sane
promises shattered to keep us whole
spin now so out of control
in a funnel slashing all we believe
carving the ground from under ones feet
bright red this blood of hearts deceit
salty with these tears of rage
against this pain each cut will make
knowing full well all of our mistakes
knowledge even as each one we make
adding now to this slicing storm
beating us down shredding our soul
and memories of far before
understanding then this moment to come
understanding then i would not run
leaving me only to stand with bridled hate
for what i have done that which i have become
as i knew too well before
as i knew too well before
