Devastation

I can vividly see the mischief in your cerulean eyes

The sparkle that veils the crippling pain in those orbs

The carefree laughs that conceal an ageless abyss

A devil-may-care lad but no one sees the devastated man underneath

He fights his shackles with wounded wrists

A lifetime passed by and his soul still burns

I reached my hand out but he had already faded with the wind
