A boy
not a boy, but a soul;
an entity
a field of energy
positive energy
but hidden energy also
he was scared
or sad
or lonely
perhaps simultaneously all
you could see it in his eyes;
eyes as blue and wavering as the ******* sea, and his emotions
they betrayed him in a sense of portraying his deepest of feelings
even when he made feeble attempts to fight otherwise
one glimpse into them and you were graced
with a show reel preview
of his entire life
childhood memories
christmas with the entire family
brokenness and disputes
as unsettling as his beauty when he caught you off-guard
his features were as strong
and dark
as the chaos that stirred within him
a jawline sculpted like no other
hand-crafted for his individual attriibutes
thick, shapely brows and lashes the colour of coal;
a statement within themselves against the lightest of ivory skin
there's a saying "you look like you've seen a ghost"
in reference to someone looking ghoulishly pale
and whilst that is fitting of his porcelain complexion,
he wouldn't have seen the ghost: he was the ghost
that's just how he was
he was never the sub-heading
or the sypnosis
he was the entire story
he was it
everything
something within him was magnetic
and in each person he came acoss
there was metal tucked away
within them that they were unaware of
drawing them to him
