If Looks Could Kill

Poem

By Paul CrockerPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

If looks could kill.

Then you know that they will.

I've aimed for your heart.

The one I claimed from the start.

I don't get thrills.

Just from seeing the blood spill.

But I'm grinding at the mill.

Until my looks have you killed.

If hands could heal.

Then you know the actual deal.

I've felt your pains.

The ones that I will contain.

I don't make meals.

Just from getting the feels.

But I know love is real.

When my hands have healed.

If eyes could lie.

Then you know I would try.

I've seen the truth.

The one that corrupts the youth.

I don't ask why.

Just from a shady alibi.

But I know a guy who knows a guy.

Whose eyes could so easily lie.
