| I Understand Why submitted anonymously I understand why - No, I truly understand. That this knife in my back is justified. I understand that I deserved this dagger thrust, hard near my spine. I understand that I hurt you and should be hurt in return for that. I understand why you pulled it out, dropping it with distain. Blood pooling on the floor. I understand all this and more. But why - I should ask, As my life runs out before me... I do NOT understand why you came again and took your beautiful hand and rubbed salt into the gash. I do NOT understand why you returned to hurt me afterwards. When I could no longer harm. I do Not understand why there is now a change... Why I fall... Salt in the wound. I do Not understand. |
