Dilated Pupils

The "i"'s of this keyboard know me better than the eyes of anyone I know

This aloof computer has seen me ***** ugly thoughts while "in real life" I don't bat an eye

I am a wounded owl in the night

fearing- free of reason- the sudden dawn

You might be able to help me, but the scars reappear when you leave,

the only magic trick I believe in anymore

(knowledge spoils and sweetens)

don't pity me when I say I can never be loved

You only love one shell of many
