You look my way

and call the poison from within me.

It's ugly, just like me. Forgive me,

I must dance. I can dance to

dazzle you with lies carved from introjection.

Let myself go and fall into perfection.

The art that wanted, hollowed out,

the crevice spirals like a hallowed pout.

I flood your eyes and pass you the flame.

I ask that you light my eyes

now that I am only porcelain.
