Something Pretty by Nicole AssenzaHis frozen eyes melt
His heart is purified
Soul no longer itches
The years no longer burn
Then time stops ticking
Muscles forfeit strain
He sees on forever
And ghosts of light
Dance into the walls
He is feather weightless
He is closer to everything
He is waking up the world
And he is small
When he returns
He is lowered into the dirt
He hits it hard
Something in him breaks
He is just a shell now
Dark and cold as glass
He is milk white and butter yellow
A new face that is too far worn
A vessel for sadness
He waits to be filled up
By something more than life
