You could see it in his eyes

He was done with all the lies

To her and to himself as well

Astonished at how far he fell

From golden child to nothing

Once, this all meant something

An abundance of passion

A flamboyant sense of fashion

All this to say he more than cared

Lived life with intent, rarely scared

Dreamt of this exact moment daily

One he never truly thought he’d see

Much less take for granted

Living a life unenchanted
