He is a boy who chooses to be lonely He breathes in solitude, exists for it
If you're fortunate you may catch a glimpse of this invisible boy But only for a moment
He hides behind his music Strumming his guitar to the beat of his heart Performing his songs into the empty stillness
He never feels the misery of being all alone Never senses the ache of an unfilled space Content in being neglected by the crowds Rejected by all the spectators
They will never know him They don't understand
Broken Girl:
She is a girl who is afraid of people She observes her feet, as she walks
You may see her sad eyes, sheltered beneath her hair But only for an instant
She hides behind her paintings As the paint drips down the canvas, her tears melt from her eyes When the colors bleed alone, so does her heart
She knows the feeling of brokenness The scars she wears are evidence of that People are damaged By the wounds of their own souls She doesn't belong in this world
They will never know her They don't understand
Invisible Boy meets Broken Girl:
He sees her one day Among the crowds The people he tries so hard to avoid She walks alone Eyes cast down He cannot help himself "What is it that makes you sad?" He asks her She looks up into his eyes "Being broken and alone" He doesn't say a word, he only takes her hand As his fingers entwine with hers He feels a longing deep inside him It grows and spreads from his heart to his veins He whispers "No one should ever be alone." He stops when he realizes what he has said is true She gives him a weak smile, frail but genuine He smiles back "Maybe, I can be lonely with you." She says softly
People grow pale, others stare, and they cannot comprehend what is happening Something is different, something is wrong The invisible boy has found the girl that feels all alone
