Sallow

Sallow-skinned.
You are my sweetest downfall.
Let it fall where it may.
Under that leather you're nothing.
But your eyes -
your eyes!
Your eyes blaze blue.
And pierce me through.

They didn't mention you, before.
And now there's nothing else.
So let it burn out.
Billowing in.
And you will never change.
Because you never were.
Sallow-skinned.
