Him

He tasted of poor decisions and depression

His eyes, a pair of shattered sapphires glowing a dark sad

He was a gradient of light and dark; most days the dark took over

His skin was marred by drunken mistakes and too much meaning

He was a reminder, to himself, of what went wrong

His words were an empty voice filled with raw emotion

He thrived on the bitter smell of amnesia and hangovers

His shoulders ached from being held too broad

He was immoral and jaded with too much insight on the world

His name was a warning, a threat

He wasn't a lost boy, rather a boy who'd been lost

And she vowed to fix him regardless the fractures and cracks
