Broken Boy

Broken boy.
He says he won't remember
me
if time can't fix his heart.
He's crushing worlds
inside himself,
and tearing down
our love.
He's stronger than a night
of black,
and colder
than the sea.
He swears that
if he wants it so
he'll swallow
all our memories.
He's angel's grace,
and devil's tongue,
and everything
of steel.
He makes me wake
to sharpening words.
He cuts me
with his gaze.
He tries so hard
to walk the line,
and never fall
and break.
He's tension strung
between two poles.
He is
his breaking
point.
