His broken halo
Still gleamed dull gold
His haunted eyes
Kaleidoscope of
All that he had seen
That weighed on his soul
I could taste the loss
In his tears
The weariness written on his skin
Like ancient runes
But there was hope in his kiss
That made me wonder
If I could be his salvation
At least for this one broken night
