Darkness Reigns

You knew my brother very briefly
but I've known you all my life,
you carved your name on his face
with a rusty stanley knife,
you watched his blood spurt
with each new kick
and laughed aloud as the letters split
sideways...
sideways
I fall
as I feel your blade with my tongue
it slashes my cheeks
for what I've said and done.
I came for your life
with my very own knife
to take back that laughter
and see your sides split
for carving my brother over
twenty measly quid.
You slash at my fingers
protecting my face, and
I wish I was as evil
as the shit in your veins,
I wish I could tap into
where your darkness reigns.
You laugh as you kick
at a stomach that splits
sideways...
sideways I fall
while you remain tall,
that shit in your veins
allows darkness to reign.
