his heart

was

black as night,

cold as ice,

hard as stone.

somehow she managed to pierce it.

the darkness,

she illuminated.

the ice.

she melted.

the stone.

she smashed.

all with a smile on her face,

like a star so bright,

like a fire so warm,

like a bear so soft,

she shot the first arrow.

bull's eye.

straight to the darkness of his heart.
