He's got sadness down to a science. His eyes scream sepia stars and cry lavender tears; he's got a pretty face, but the blistered heart stapled to his sleeve is one that only a mother could love.
He is eccentric, an eclectic mix of turquoise and melancholy. His weakness is the colour red; the way it splatters hotel-room walls and streaks across linoleum like a first-grader's art-project gone horribly-wrong. He is something of an artist, stirring crimson swirls into creamy plastic and etching cobwebs into his arms as though plotting a bar-graph; the red spiders bite, and the venom stings when it seeps through skin, but he knows it's only temporary.
The curvature of her lips is exquisite, and he shudders as she bites into his trembling exoskeleton, feeling her way around every nook and cranny with her slippery silver tongue. He tries to remember life without her, but those memories have long since dissipated, been replaced with absinthe and silicone-spit as she violates each slick incision with a sloppy French-kiss.
He is salt and vinegar, with velveteen skin and glass for blood. His spinal scaffolding is made from sugarcane; stoic, but easily-overpowered; and though he longs to rip the surgical-steel ribs from his chest with quivering hands, to do so would surely mean death.
He is a ticking time-bomb, on the verge of implosion. His black-cherry lips twitch in rhythm with firecracker-veins, and he touches her cheek as she bows her head in silence. He watches the tears as they glisten in her hazel eyes and wishes on them, for they are the only stars left in his sky. Suicide is not an option now.

Adding your comment:
hehe
roflrfl But yeah, I know that feeling. 
The abstractions, such as turquoise, could be fleshed out into another part. Hair colour, maybe an amulet, perhaps a band around his wrist ... necklace? The colour grabs attention, but I feel you leave us hanging to make up our own mind on what we want to see. I'd like to see various aspects fleshed out .. why is he a patron-saint of alchemy? That is a typical question I'd ask myself throughout. Obviously these aspects can be attended to in additions. 
and I thought that I had no attention span, boy was I wrong. the imagery is completely incredible.. you've captured your sissy's attention and she wants to read more.. so I will wait as patiently as I can for the rest of it..[taps foot impatiently after just a few seconds lol]
