Heartless
There’s nothing wrong with his anatomy,
not on the surface.
He’s not perfect,
but all the better for that.
It’s under the skin
where the anomaly lies -
there’s no heart to give a beat.
Deception complete,
I’m walking hand-in-hand
with Death.

He's not such a bad sort when you get to know him. He can be a little on the dispassionate side. But hay, he great to have around when people are giving you a hard time. (LOL?)
