Shimmering Steel
In my mind
I hold my dreams
My fantasies
Or so it seems
Nothing given
Nothing missed
Only steel
In a clentched fist
I dare not ever
Take my life
Yet still I grasp
This deadly knife
Never taking
A cowards fee
And sacrifice
My life to thee
But still my pain
It is too strong
As I struggle
All night long
Then in a moment
Of self and loss
I carve upon my arm
A cross
My heart so cold
No pain I feel
As I clutch the blade
Of blood and steel
