Knife Fight
Knife fight!
Words
that cut
stab and trust
Twisting
the blade in rage
A lifetime
of puckered scars
Don't bring a knife to a gun fight
Gun barrel glowing red
with pain
Dares
that end it all
Armageddon with words
'I don't love you'
Gotterdammerung of the soul

This is a fine little poem and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more attention. It's filled with harsh truth told with great economy, brutality and grace. Well done. Keep at it.
