Daggers

By Scott Bailey © 2014

A dagger can be subtle
Not just a sharp stabbing tool
Can slowly cut away supports
Until they fray with time
And then it only takes
A single little pluck
And all comes crashing down
The betrayers hand unknown

    Ooh, that’s very true. It’s different for many and as you say, one jab could be all it takes and it’s beyond our breaking point. Beautifully and realistically said.
