I met a boy
I found him and then…
He found me
Such eyes full with anger
A heart filling slowly with hate
By each passing day
But… he was merely a boy
Not even 14 but his eyes
His rigid jaw held
The hardness of a man

I wanted to return his innocence 
Soften his feature with
My tentative hands
Place a smile on those
Determinedly set lips
Find his happiness
His descending anger

But…

Then he found me
He saw my emptiness
My structure slowly cracking
And grabbed me in his arms
Before my foundations could
Completely shatter
Pinning down my sanity 
My life form in his
Understanding embrace

And I fell
Fell away from my
Impending death
And into those dark eyes

But…I fell
And his arms left me
Taking the smile I had
Granted him
And my own happiness 
With him.

I fell
Hollowness returning 
Shell like heart
Cracking on impact

But… I found him
And he found me.

I met a boy 
He saved my life
And then broke
My heart
