How Long Can You Hold?

The knife is sharp, you can tell by your cut
You're hurting and crying in pain, but
To me, for sins, morality you have sold
Tell me, oh tell me, how long can you hold?

You cry and cry and continue to curse fate,
But it's you who used your morality as bait
Now, will you wait for worse to unfold?
Tell me, really, how long can you hold?

The knife is yours, the bullets reflected
This isn't like any revenge you've deflected
For all the truths you haven't told,
Let us see how long you will hold.

This peice is actually told from the point of view of someone taking revenge. Though, through the poem I myself understood that the desire for revenge is much more than a simple tit for tat, because Karma is fair, but no one can predict human revenge.
