Dagger

If you gave a friend a dagger you wouldn’t expect this,
You wouldn’t expect them to throw it deep in your heart.
‘How silly!’ you might say to give a friend such a thing.
But he who loves unconditionally will always think to win.

Some friends will say they are loyal and indeed they are.
But when storms come will loyalty walk with you that far?
I say, do not blame your friend. Instead try to understand,
Why they made that decision, perhaps a of hostage chaos?

Chaos makes you see negativity, never the bright side of life.
For it is a leech. It sucks out happiness and will spread strife.
People often make excuses to try and hide their real actions.
They have not the courage to tell you what they really feel.

At times we are not told the truth, so as to spear our feelings.
But the truth always rears its beautiful head sooner or later.
If a dagger would be love, then hold on to your dagger tight.
And think before giving it to a passing stranger in the night.
