Revealed

Looking at him I felt something melt away
Not my heart, not my soul.
In horror I saw the first coating of wax slide off
His glorious brown eyes, his smooth skin,
His soft lips...
Revealing that cold stone structure within
A sight of him that was never shown
The indifference, the icy resolve,
The relentless gaze...
I cringed and backed off,
Turning my heels, with not a glance backwards,

I ran.
