Sharpening My Hatchet

By SilentStalker

I'm sharpening my hatchet
It's quite a lovely sight
I cannot help but think of all
The pain I'll deal tonight

You told me that you loved me
You said it was okay
And just when I had felt secure
You quickly snuck away

My anguish will not feed me
But blood may do the trick
I'll spray so much upon the world
That even I get sick

You chose your path of wrongness
Now see what I will do
I'm sharpening my hatchet, love
I'm doing it for you.

    Hey, don't use a bench grinder. It'll ruin the temper and the edge won't keep for shit. Use a whetstone; it's slower, but the results are much better :)
