he is beautiful but he is scared. scary. he is conflicted, unsure, a typical example of perfection gone wrong. his eyes are as inescapable as the truth: you love him, but he has never known love.
you tell him this- that you exist, that you are proof, that you want him to understand. he tells you he can't.
despite your good intentions, you don't understand either. you can write LOVE on your arms, but he doesn't actually feel it when he's cutting. you can tell him you're worried about him, but that doesn't stop his parents from abusing him.
you think he's broken, but it's really that he's been broken too many times, and you won't be the one to save him.
