Denial (Self Defense)
I became an agent of the dark,
Broke in to your ‘vault’ with a knife in my hand…
Just in case… a weapon for self -defense…
I knew I was not any good in attack but I was going to fake a try
Sure of the reward for honesty,
So rough that honest people have to deal with broken bones and freezing brains
I had a twisted heart, twisting it further would peel it to bleed out,
I cautiously walked in, like a thief in the dark…
With a torch, I keenly walked through the shelves of your brain,
Trying to find out if you kept traces of my existence
I found your thoughts and expectations on me
So I put my gloves so as not to leave prints in-case I turn your brain to a crime scene
I went in to the details of your files on me
Scheming through details of how you missed me,
How you wish for more and how womanly you wanted to feel
I gathered confidence like a barrister with evidence
Hoping you would easily plead guilty as charged
Instead, you charged me with the urge to tell
And I couldn’t because unlike you,
I handle hearts with care and telling with not only break it,
But crush it to sudden death
But just in case I do, don’t call it pay back
Because that pain-debt you lent me was too much
Too much that even with a double edged sword,
I couldn’t double-cut the pain to reduce the cost
So just in case I happen to rape your confidence out
Just in case I solidify your hidden molten heart
Then drop it to crack,
For I will avoid a high five for a fifth date
A fifth date in front of a five judge bench
Just know it was in self defense
