His eyes were cold and dark like the emptiness of space

His chest a swollen cavity weighed down by the boulder on his left side

His laugh so deep and sharp it made my bones sweat

and yet

he had managed to lure her

with her deep brown eyes rich like earth

and a heart warm, strong, and fearless

I watched him taint her beauty with his filth and

fill her mind with lies to make her envious

and she grew bitter and cold

they existed as one in the dark emptiness of his space

her heart turned to stone and protruded from her chest

and yet

His eyes... I won’t forget his eyes

They twinkled with the life he had taken from her
