perfectly irresistible, perfectly flawed

the fire in his eyes lets you know

he means everything he says


his story... heart wrenching

you look into his eyes

and see a broken little boy

that little boy only comes out

when you're around


he is so close to you

from this close you can see

his long eyelashes dance

over his chocolate brown eyes


there is a connection...

bits and pieces of your souls escape

as you share your stories


but... then you come to a crude awakening.

will he even remember this tomorrow?

will he remember your connection?

is he even really here right now?

the alcohol stench and cigarette smoke surround him

and you realize... that broken little boy

is lost in a cloud of addiction,

and you might never be able to reach him.

he might already be gone...
