A knife to a guns fight

Knifes don't run out of bullets!

A knife to a guns fight

Midnight strikes here you are again!
You drink some whisky over the pain
A vortex of anger makes you insane
Trying to keep your demons deep within
You hit the streets under thunder and rain

Always on the run
You don’t believe in the gun
You fight with your soul and knife
Runner, stranger, goner that’s your life

Fading shadows
Revealing secrets
Facing the street lights
So many lonely miles

The path you choose
Bringing a knife to a guns fight
Cutting bullets still you can't lose
You'll be standing at the end of the night

Hunting ghosts
Catching memories
Gazing into blazing fires
So many burning hopes

Always on the run
You don’t believe in the gun
You fight with your soul and knife
Runner, stranger, goner that’s your life
Runner, stranger, goner that’s your life
Yeah…

so... f**k me... and f**k my insight!
this is like nothing i've seen before!
honestly... i do not give a f**k about what any1 would/could say or think... you're getting a 100% for this one! ITS MY PERSONAL VIEW... AND I THINK ITS TRUE!

man the rhyme scheme is strong and fit...
the personifications and the hidden meanings... maybe its becoz i know you... but even if i dont... i'd know theres something beyond your words!

i like!

True. This feels like the words to a song. Kinda dark, strong and powerful.

hmm, bullets that have a limit and must be shot with precision, or a weapon that has no limit to its uses and can be very effective anywhere... i'd have to agree, knives are better lol. not to mention, a knife is a smaller version of a sword, which suggests nobility through the bonds of swords and knighthood. guns... equal mobs and precision killing. knives equal skill. a half-decent knife fighter will always have my respect over the best gunner.

is it ur style or the issue that makes me freak about this poem???

You fight with your soul and knife: I could not have said it more precisely and more intensely than that!

Wonderfully- descriptive and subtle.
