Scalpel

So light the touch with a razors edge
to mutilate and carve the pattern on the flesh.
Expose the needs that lied beneath,
the vasectomy of words spit from your teeth.
No time for sympathy, cauterized the flowing empathy,
delve, in the tissues deep red meat.
Cut the lonely cancer before it creeps.
Some trust in crystal powers, and faith
sugar coat the bitter pill you must ingest,
to circumvent what must be faced.
Skipping on the sheer drop's precipice.
The blindfold surgeon gives a wink.
How deep the scars, roadmap left in pink,
when the theatre spotlight, explores your all,
the therapy of Hobson's choice,
and the future looks neanderthal.
 Blots of blood, the signature indistinct.
The waver, to dissect your heart for keeps
for passion cuts to depths
to heal, or leave irrevocable sore that weeps
