I’d like to take a sharp knife
and carefully cut off my face
So you’d have no reason to look at me
So you could never see me
So I could be hidden forever
behind your own revulsion
So I could be invisible
behind my own horror
So I could blow you goodbye kisses
With no lips
Or blinking eyelids
To funnel tears down my cheeks again…
SO I COULD NEVER BUY THE LIE
OF A SMILE AGAIN…
All this and more
I would do
To just enjoy
A little
Peace
