Slain

Someone tells me or worse still keeps inside 

They may be hiding 

Smiles perfectly covering their lies 

Holding onto fragile knotted ties 

Never enough watever it may seem 

Glazing nightmares and shallow dreams 

Chasing steps while my shadow redeems 

Unnoticed, meanwhile carved my extremes

After the struggles I've juggled with has rugged me deep

The dagger still does its thing

but what I know is

I'm slain but I no more bleed
