Beauty Is a Weapon

Dagger eyes
And exit signs
Exposed backs
And uncut ties
Unmarked graves built on lies
Simmering rage hidden by night

Heart cut-outs
A feckless man
Summer heat
And careless plans
In the silence you steal what you can
Unphased by life's demands

Your beauty is a weapon
Your anger is a lesson
Your kindness is a blessing
Don't let the pain keep you from Heaven

Misunderstood
And underwhelmed
Resigned fate
But all is well
Deeper still with no tell-tales
Unknowns and wishing wells

Your beauty is a weapon
(If looks could kill)
(You'd hold them all against their will)
(You always give them such a thrill)
Your anger is a lesson
(With eyes like yours, if looks could)
(Sometimes we all need anger)
(Just to keep us going)
(But you need to let it go)
Your kindness is a blessing
(Or it'll swallow you whole)
(And just when you think there's nobody by your side)
(Your kindness has returned ten-fold)
Don't let the pain keep you from Heaven
(Don't let the pain keep you from Heaven)
