En Guard
While there was nothing really here for me
There was nothing I wanted to leave behind
But you forced my hand.
I didn’t even look back
To see if I cut you, because
While there was really nothing there for me,
There was nothing I wanted to leave behind.
But you forced my hand.
I was too scared to look back
And see if you were bleeding.
There was nothing there for me now
And while I didn’t want to leave you,
You forced my hand.
And I decided not to look back
To see if you needed me
You wouldn’t have asked and
While I didn’t want to leave you behind
You cut me first.
It would be betrayal to my scars
To look back
And see if you had scratches.
