Burnt


 

In the process of proving independence

And a downfall

You burst in and grab the knife

I calmly ask you to set it down

You cackle why and I say

You should know

You further gesture it at me and throw it

And here I am writing again

While you in the background screech like a demon

I guess this is how we’ll go on
