Cold winter night

Between sheets and ceiling bed and floor

I took the sharpest knife

In my drawer and went for the kill

And as you doubled over

Reeling from the cut

The feeling I won faded fast

Like the last bits of summer into fall

Like the sand from the ocean with the tide

I gathered up your body

And pulled it close to mine

Felt you sobbing in agony

Felt your heart turn to stone under mine

You said through dying lips

You'd wish me well

I left you laying there

And headed out

Into the night

Feeling the bitterness that comes

With winning another fight

With blood still on my hands

I walked on through 

Avenues

Alleyways

And

Shadow littered streets
