acid tongue + silver lining

i find myself
attempting to tuck
the corners of your life
under the mattress neatly,

as if i could somehow
fold up your problems
and that my harried actions
could lay good intentions perfectly
over your sleeping body

because all i wish to be
is that silver outlining
traced so delicately
in the corners of your smile

but my argent-based soul
shines pyrite when reflected
in your pupils

and i have worn it thin
attempting to heal scars
even cobblers couldn't patch up
