Description frayed fringe of denim eyes
-blink twice and I will be gone-
border them with twicebacktacked
lashes
(let them speak,
for they leak sweet tears)

had I ached for that
acrimonious smile,
the bitter, two edged blades
that are your lips--?

would I--?

and yet tears are no substitute
for well oiled steel,
and your eyes are no
match for a soul--.

I very much like this one. The last stanza is magic.

Makes me think of this: [link]

The word 'acrimonious' reminds me of lacrimal glands (tear glands), so that ties in quite well.
I also like the play of 'two hard edged blades that are your lips'.
