What another woman feels about him

She perceives him as a beautifully broken mirror- -each shard reflecting a desirable quality, yet the whole remaining perpetually disjointed. There is an undercurrent of profound, almost jealous, pity. She feels the potential, the unmade king in him, but also sees the self-inflicted chains that bind his feet. It’s a feeling of intense frustration, like watching a masterful sculptor who insists on only carving mud. Specifically, she feels a sharp, almost defensive need to protect her own emotional landscape from his magnetic instability. She sees him as a project that she has wisely decided not to undertake, knowing the cost would be her own structure. The dominant emotion is a complex cocktail of admiration for his spark and a clinical, self-preserving detachment from his fire. She feels that to love him would be to sign a waiver for her own inevitable collapse into his orbit, and she values her equilibrium too much to allow that gravity to take hold. She feels he is a beautiful tragedy, best admired from a safe, considerable distance.
