you’ve got light in your eyes but
use it like a laser beam
scanning me up and down
you’ve got blinks, but won’t give them
like smiles. I’ve loved someone
right until their heart stopped
that moment, then loved them some more
as a beacon warning ships of the danger
and then some more
showing them the way home
and then some more. Who did you light up
with that laser beam look?
that burns holes in people
that cuts things out of them
destroying healthy flesh
