Final Cut

Old carving knife and forks

The final cut
The final day
Was slicing through everything
Fear, hope, dismay
Was a backwards glance
Walking away
The final cut
The final day

The final cut
Without remorse
Was denying everything
What was worse
Was a flippant comment
Deriding, coarse
The final cut
The final course

  1. Straws that break camels backs come to mind Helen. And yes it can be that flippant comment that appears so uncaring.
