If looks could kill,
His would keep me alive for ever.

Within him, I see the world.
Everything, so beautiful,
Yet anger, power, cruelty hidden within.

And ignorance. Love. Happiness.
It sweeps me away,
All this, hidden away.
What am I missing?

A new a boy once, who was one of the most kind-hearted people I've ever met. I wrote this in honor of him, although we don't talk anymore, he left a place in my heart as a good friend.
