Him Poem by India Wallace

I see him standing in the corner
Shoulders slouched
Shadows falling across his face
Music pounding in his ears

He sees me and smiles
Oh god i love that smile
Even though it's only small
It lights up even the impenetrable darkness of my heart

When i feel the touch of his hand on mine
The warmth from his skin
It sends shivers down my spine
I love his hands

I know that this won't last forever
Nothing ever does
But just for now, i'll bath in the glowing light of love
Until the day it fades back into suffocating darkness

That day i dread.
