Almost a Year
It's been almost a year now
 since I first left your house
 and the hurt that still resides within
 seems as tiny as a mouse.
 
 But when the words begin to fall 
 and tears stream down my face 
 you're always the first one in my mind
 that's never out of place.
 
 You sit there, quiet, meek, and nice
 until the words begin to cut me as
 jagged as the ice
 
 It's then you're face begins to 
 haunt me never letting go. 
 begging me to take the knife and ever let it flow.
 
 You're words of hatred 
 kill my mind, 
 leaving me scared 
 and always looking behind.
 
 As the knife finds my hand
 a cool rush takes over me
 and if only for a moment
 your mocking it recedes.
 
 The silver blade kisses my skin, 
 your taunts begin to build, 
 my mind it cries out
 mercy please but never seems fufilled.
 
 I wonder as the knife digs in
 just how far I must go
 but never will I be free of this
 and that is already shown.
 
 Who will stop this some may wonder?
 The answer's simple daddy dearest
 this will be your greatest blunder.
