He
Is larger than life
Smile so bright
So wide
You'd never guess what it hides
Eyes shining
Glassy
Grey as the ocean
Wild in storm
Arms so warm
Embrace your soul
Opening your mind
Melting your world
And he doesn't have to try
He's never heard that before
Brick by brick
Cement and stone
He builds his home
No space for two
A broken record of hurt
He knows by heart
The words of his demons
A melody of chaos
No rhyme, no reason
In his beautiful mind
He stands two feet tall
Heart of gold
Blood runs cold
Soul unmolded, unsold
He is the hand I reach for
But it's not open to hold
He keeps his door closed
Shades shut
I try to peer in
Leave a note on his doorstep
"Look by your side in the cold"
He crumples and folds it
Throws it
We both stand alone
