the last sanity

like a knife she cuts me away
and i become a piece amongst many

she wraps herself about another
and i am left bereft of home

the cut takes the longest time
drawn through my life severing hope

comfort and love from the future lanced
paring away all my sweet dreams

she gives herself to a pretty boy
and leaves me adrift with ice-flows

and cut lonely in my so cold world
i plot his death to retain my sanity
