Careless Hands
'I let my heart fall into careless hands...'
The first he remembered were duly accompanied by a pair of deep brown eyes, laughing at him. From above, always looking down. But then the same careless hands that knocked him down were the ones that pulled him back up and neither was worse for wear.
And as those eyes became blank and fingers grew cold, he never stopped searching.
Then there were the eyes that glowed like the center of the planet, a smile that reached inside you and ripped your bleeding heart out through your throat like it was nothing and that was painful, too.
But no matter. He lost those smiles when careless hands dropped his heart on the floor and someone else duly trod on it. But that was all right, because that mouth still smiled and mako-eyes with it-- just not for him.
And then the only hands he had were his and the smiles were his own, reflected in wide, frightened eyes. He bathed careless hands in a sea of red.
