And then I look into his eyes, littered with
Bodies, flooded with tears. Scars
Caress the hopeless orbs that lay in
Deep pools of amber. The colour is an
Equal yellow to the pages of an old book. Pages that tell a
Fair story of his past: the rights and wrongs, the lives and deaths, the
Gashes that “maybes” and “whys” dig that
Harbor meaning to his lifeless stare.
It’s hard to understand this boy, he
Jests and smiles with his friends, he
Keeps his feelings to himself, but when he’s
Lonesome, out pour hopes and
Memories. What is to come
No one knows. So far, he hasn’t had the best life, but fate is
Open to change. His one true wish is to
Produce a single song, a great one. But for now, he remains
Quiet. He often sits alone and feels the beat
Rush through his head, but he can never catch the notes in time.
Some say he’s hopeless, others
Think he has a chance. As I watch him fish for music in his mind and
Utter words that only he can hear, I cannot help but feel
Very bad for him, for his past has brought these feelings to his life. The
Wish, he’s always had, but he still watches the notes flit off into the
X-traordinary fire of the moon. The song will never be written, the
Years go by, but still he sits, watching a
Zephyr of cold wind drag the music, his spirit, away.
