If You Only Knew

What would they say

If they could see

The blood

Pooling

Under my sleeve even now,

Red as the glass of wine

My mother hands me

As a truce.

These 'cat scratches'

These 'accidents'

What I'm doing to try to

Make sense

Of what I have

And what I am

Though I'm just a simple man

A lost lamb

Your love's a sham

The understanding

It's just handing

Me the warrant

For my destruction

Don't

Forget me.

Don't forget me.

Don't forget

Me.
