Three lines later
With the lights out
She knows exactly
What to say,
You don’t have
To cut another line
For her to
Cut to the chase.

You don’t need a razor blade
To dig inside yourself,
To destroy yourself.
Your mind’s so sharp,
You can shred yourself to pieces.

That blow
Made her heart
Go so fast it
Beat every ounce of fear
And self respect
Out of her body.
