Your Weapon of Choice

If looks could kill,

I would most certainly be dead.

Those eyes pierce me deeper

than any sword ever did

and my soul is ripped from my body

leaving a stain that is dark blood red.

The empty vessel that remains

then falls to the floor

a heap of dead tissue

that my resemblance it once bore

and you walk away with

not an ounce of guilt,

for all you did was stare,

your fingerprints aren’t on the hilt.
