Eyes as deep as the bark of a tree in autumn
Hair the color of almonds and honey
Smile as bright as the sunset
Beautiful but temporary
His heart is in pieces
There is pain in his eyes
He says you can see his smile in his eyes but it doesn't reach that far
If you didn't know the feeling of being lost and worthless you wouldn't know that his smile was false
He cares for others beyond what he does for himself
He gave and so many take
He hopes the world will reward him with her
The girl with honey blonde hair and hazel eyes
Golden and green all at once
She smiles and gives like him
Although she has learned not to let everyone take for then there will be nothing left to give
She smiles and it reaches her eyes
She's seen death
Witnessed it all
Grief and despair
Hopelessness and she smiles in hopes to make
Someone else happy
She knows things are temporary
She is bright and he is dull like a dying flame to a fire
He is tall and has enough in life to do whatever he wishes
She has enough to get by
She buys her clothes second hand and wears them proudly
He spends hundreds on shoes
She dances in the rain and he watches her
His hair is messily in his eyes, her swinging around
Her clothes and hair sticking to her
He has his hands in his pockets, half under an aunning
He is broken
She is shattered
Her pieces sprawled across every inch of her life
She needs fixing and so does he
He wants her
She is too worried about more important things to notice as he craves her with his eyes
Body
And soul
She is his sunflower in a field of roses
