Look me in the eye

Picture
Look me in the eye
And I will look away
Unable to bear the scrutiny
Of another's penetrating gaze
Rooting around inside of me
To ferret out all I hold close

Because my eyes will betray me
They will reveal truths
I don't intend to tell
Shed light on my darkest parts
Just to see them slither

I glance down and to the right
Always
Retreat to the safe space
That sarcasm provides
Draw up one corner of my lips
A glossy smirk
Just to watch you reel
At the rapidity of my response
How I can cut to my own quick
And bleed and bleed and bleed
While you flail and try to stop it

Let this be a lesson in compliments
