Faerie
NICK CAUDEL
You slice me by the seams
And I apologize for bleeding.
As comely as you are,
Your looks are too misleading.
With a shimmer in your eye
And a shiv within my chest,
Your whispers in my ear
Roost into their nest.
I identified the signs,
But pure allure constrained
My impetus to act
‘Til it became too late.
A hypnotic, soft gleam
And the plumpest, pursed lips
Besieged my better judgment:
It was never worth the risk.You slice me by the seams
