• Through lips sewn together
    you speak to me
    a trail of subtle, sickening lies
    all spilling down

    Through eyes glassy like the moon
    you gaze upon me
    if a crocodile tear can shine in the moonlight
    yours can sparkle, fooling even the stars

    Through uninspired fingertips
    you lap me with your words
    your luscious lips curling
    into a vicious snarl

    Through outstretched arms
    you reach out to grasp anything
    anything that you can manipulate
    so you come out on top

    Through a feral stance
    you rise above me
    ready to take on
    the world
