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.
