I Merely Reflect

you are a vortex within
yourself- pulling & ripping &
tearing to shreds all that
come near (expect them dead)
fair warning was given, handed
about, crumpled & forgotten
in the spiel of life & whatnot.
it's simple (distraction) i do
not shine, i merely reflect
the light you cast, & such
goodness can never last.
