Toxic Man

Under your shiny false front

shadows seethe.

takes my breath away

at the immense degrading violence inside you.

They only see the scrubbed surface,

the innocent babyish face,

but to me you look too clean

like you've just washed the blood off,

and your feigned naivety,

makes me say

your Jedi mind trick will not work on me;

I can see you like to cause pain.

You touched my shoulder and smiled at me

and I danced with you for a long time,

wondering when the rapacious malignant person

you really are

would surface,

wondering how I would defend against the storm.

You spin a web of lies

and repeat them constantly so you can keep them all

straight,

but your words are so hollow,

and I wonder how you manage to say anything

at all

when you have such a bad grasp of the basics.

You paint yourself

as sweet helpless

blameless

but you wound at every opportunity,

beserking from out of the blue.

Those baby blue eyes of yours

hold nothing but anger and hatred and abuse.

I wonder how many more will fall

for your false crumbling charm

before one of them stands up to you

to stop you in your tracks.

...I wonder, will she carry the scars on her soul

like I do.
