The Surgeon's Scalpel

Slice me 
And see what pours out

Choose your instrument

Choose it wisely

Which angle 

Will find me

Use some finely crafted words

To tell me all my flaws

Better yet, tell someone else

Uncover my faux pas

Leave me alone

At the critical times

Forget to pay me back

Borrowed nickels and dimes

Cut me off in traffic

Leave a snooty comment

When you hear me talking

Don't be fully present

Hurt someone I love

Leave me unappreciated

Replace me with someone else

Come home inebriated

Hint that I'm too much

Or maybe not enough

Tell me that, "It's all a joke! 

Why do you take it rough?"

Put me on hold

Charge a hidden fee

Punch me in the gut

Lie to me, betray me

Cut me down

Please, cut me down

Let's see whose blood I bleed

Matthew 26:28, Eph. 4:31-32, Luke 6:27-28, Phil. 2:5
