Something Pretty

by Nicole Assenza

His 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

Author's Note: Drugs much? For my girl Britters, who requested "something pretty''. Happy New Year, everybody.
