phone call

open me up
and insert that venom-coated knife
with your words
subconsciously dipped in poison

watch me shrivel
behind the nonchalant exterior
slipping away unnoticed
hidden beneath the gray shroud

and you remain
faultless with your translucent halo
subtly stirring chaos
into my small imaginary world
