Flicker

The light that dances in your eyes behind a smile

Hides none of the hard-won peace of mind post-trial

Your introductory period has now ended and I suppose

That it’s just as well I have your credit card details so as

To keep asking you to pay the piper although I know I’d pay

To subscribe to you too even if it cost me more than you say

It’s worth it to me and nothing lasts forever but just maybe

When the flicker of electricity passed from my heart so hasty

It got picked up by an ever-eager lightening rod in your eyes

The crackles make the air shimmer as we try each other on for size
