Fallen Angel

Sometimes I find myself despairing,
By the fallen angel near my side.
His beauty is unparallel,
Surpassing the flawless crystalline ice,
Of the purest, coldest alabaster.
But with that terrible beauty,
His heart matches his face of emotionless, unyielding stone.
So remote and chill,
Immaculate to everyone's eye.
It is so cruel and so cold,
To never see a smile light his face,
Nor a glimmer of expression from the dark indifference of his eyes.
To bless such potential upon one the least approachable…
To know the striking awe he inspires...
I find myself despairing,
On a fruitless crusade to win back his soul,
His humanity...
