You viciously cut me open with your switchblade eyes
I didn't say a word of complaint
nor did I attempt to stop you
as all was displayed for you to see
Nothing was hidden from your sight
as you continued to push and probe
choosing to remain silent as you searched
not commenting on what you uncovered
Eventually you found something that frightened you
and so you withdrew and ran away
not bothering to give an explanation
leaving me to cover up what you had exposed
I still recall that day with puzzlement
as I have not had a chance to discover
what it was that terrified you so much
when you cut me open with your switchblade eyes
