Clothed in robes is a beautiful lad
who walked with pride and heart in hand.

His being holds a bedazzling charm
and a smile that's bound to make anyone warm.

for dense walls he can't seem to hide.

disarray is what the robes seem to bury.

The lump of a mess you call a heart is an illusion.
He had simply painted over all its lacerations.
