Why my Eyes are Blue

In Memoriam, Childhood of Matthew Randall Ackerman

He was oft lonely.

Treading upon dusty stones.
stones which eagerly encompassed soles

His heart became heavy and apathetic
agony became a close-quartered companion

His eyes turned blue from the baggage they carried
milky orbs submersed in torrential tears

The afterthought of tranquility left him drowning in wonderment

Condescending smiles. Leprosy of the mouth
slowly but surely, they were the cleavers quick at his heartstrings

Innocence torn asunder. Isolation pronounced familiar. He was not left unscathed.

Quiet. Idle words avoided. Peace.
