Prologue

She was a fire,
a light
a warmth
a weapon.

He was a sculpture,
of ice
of ash
of dust.

They were
the beautiful
fragility
of a ticking bomb.

She was everything
he could never be.

Emotional.
Colorful.

He was everything
that she was.

Broken.
Fragile.

And so
it must be asked

how does a tear
fall in love
with a flame?

How
could the sun
fall in love
with the moon?

Why
would numbness
fall in love
with pain?

Winter
and summer
could never be together.

Part One

Her

I saw a boy
on the street corner
of his and mine

and I saw
his arms
covered in lines

of tragic poetry
no one cares to read.

Why
does no one
care to read?

He looked like
a coon
with those
two bruised eyes.

A mask.

And I thought

damn

he looks
like me
on the inside.

Beneath bruised tissue
blue eyes shone

and my breath caught

and I kept walking.

Him

She was
dark leather
bruised knuckles
and cigarette smoke.

The smoke
seemed appropriate
for a girl
with fire inside.

And I thought

damn

I wish I could feel
things
like she does.

But
it looks like
maybe
like me
all she knows how to feel
is pain.

She is looking at me.

I feel like an animal
a deer
caught
in her eyes
and my heart
leaps into my throat
inexplicably...

And then she's gone.
