A Brutal Stabbing

Hawthorn 2/4/98

Could you stab me one more time?
Left me bleeding as you walked away
With the empty promise of "perhaps another day..."
Make me your victim of another crime!

Could you stab me just once more?
What do you have to lose if you take a chance?
There's no risk to you in this circumstance,
Look upon it as another sad chore.

Couldn't you have stabbed me just one time?
I gave you the chance to try again
But you left me a second time to my pain.
The freedom is yours but the heartache's mine.
