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
