He hurts people. Not by choice, no, but by design.
He’s like a kitchen knife or a razor. Hurting people is not what he was made for, But looking at the way they work, You’d never be able to tell that.
Hurting people, for example, is not what a razor was made to do, But it’s very good at it. And a kitchen knife wasn't made to ****, But with a blade like that, Few things are more effective.
He wasn’t made to hurt people, But when his mind interprets every breath you take as scripture, And the way he finds earthquakes in your heart beat, And how when even on the coldest nights He manages to find warmth in the way your eyes glow like the moon, How he wonders what it’s like to be your favorite hoodie, Or how long your smell will linger after you’ve left, How by nature his thoughts compare fire to your touch, And ice to your lips, When you ask him how his day was and he genuinely can’t remember Because the sound of your voice was the first thing he felt all day, You’d never be able to tell.
Yes, He will admit it. He has edges sharper than razors, And a mind that will cut you into a million fall leaves of every shade of fire. But he wasn’t made to hurt people. He just does by design.
