Revenge

I will 

trust you 

until you hurt me 

and then 

 you will wonder 

what happened 

to my innocence 

as I pull 

your shallow knife 

from my back, 

hand it back to you clean.

For I will not turn the other cheek, 

but I will not sink to your level. 

Be wary of me 

for when I strike, 

it will be justfied 

and it will have been you 

who have sunk the knife 

into yourself

by your own actions.
