Knives

you lecture love:

say it's when two people

live under one roof

share their bed and share their meals

I told you to go in so many ways

you wouldn't be believe what your ears hear

it is just one of those things

just something women say

women say

I lost my soul

into your endless caves

now there is light

I feel it burning through the door

I wanted to show you so many things

I thought I could teach you what love is

but that's just one of those things

just something women do

just one bitter mistake

just something women do

women do

so you have changed

you are a new man, I see

but you still kill

your knives seek ways into my flesh

I nurtured your demons all these years

eyes open or closed I feel their shapes

you are their child, and they are yours

but you do not even know their names

that is just one of those things

just something women see

don't worry, it's not real anyway

just what women see

it's just one of those things

just something women see

don't worry, they're not real anyway

just something women see

women see
