Beautiful Dagger

Oh beautiful dagger

That pierces my heart.

Why do you love to watch me bleed?

 

Do you love the way my blood tastes

Do you love the way it flows?

Do you love the look on my face, when you break my skin?

 

Can you see my face?

Do you watch the blood?

Do you love the way I return every, “I love you.”?

 

Beautiful, dagger, why me?

Do you love me?

The words I hear from you, I take them as truth.

 

True or false, I believe them all.

I forgive all the broken promises.

I pretend the heartbreaks weren’t real

 

All for you, lovely dagger

Lustful dagger

Such a soft blade, that breaks my skin

 

I suffer silently for you

I don’t want you to know my pain

Don’t ever look at me, when my face fills with tears

 

Only know my happiness

Only feel my love

Only know, my unbroken flesh

 

Oh, sinful dagger

Tell me you love me again

I know those words are true

 

Because I don’t let you break the flesh you desire most

But do you desire me?

I know you never tell a lie

 

Oh wishful dagger, that I desire most of all

Stay with me forever, and tell me you love me

Tell me over and over, until you think I’m sick of you

 

Can you keep one promise, beloved dagger?

Don’t break me anymore

Because I could never dream of breaking my favorite sword

 

By the time you would have peeled my last inch of skin off

Let me be whole

Let me stay with you?

 

Although I know my heartbreaks

I know when my heart sings of joy

And it sings for you

 

My lovely dagger.

me only problem is its simple,
but its straightforward, and direct.
interesting

First let me say I like the central theme here. The near fetishization of an inanimate object makes for a really interesting read. I also like your word choice ("Lustful dagger" in particular). It helps to heighten the emotions buried within the text. I wondered about its length at first but on second read found most of the lines help to develop the theme. Well done!
