Leave It Where It Lies

Don't pick it up.

Don't look into it's eyes.

It's a liar.

It cannot help you.

With it's shiny appearance,

it lies, saying you'll feel better.

You won't.

Under it's shiny surface is a sharp blade,

a blade that craves flesh.

Don't pick it up.

Don't look into it's eyes.

Leave it where it lies.
