Killing me right from the front,
the soil will turn over,
without you won't be able to live for long.
Stab me in the back,
I'm faster gone than you can run,
and yet you don't want to live without.
Rip my innards out,
all what's left is an old shiny antique
and yet you can't hold what you just removed.
Grabbing a pair from me,
you will either have something colorful
or something really old.
