Secret

[ghostofagypsy]

I stay safe tucked behind lips
but it is the teeth
that understand
what I really am

A bite concealed by a whisper,
a weapon yielded gracefully,
a catch of breath
at the unexpected truth

currency at the expense
of a little piece of you

This sounds like lyrics to a song I definitely would like to listen to.

"currency at the expense
of a little piece of you."

fabulous ending.
