They talked almost every night
They talked about beauty and grace
The only thing that made them smile
Was seeing the others face
She told him about all her problems
Even the ones where he couldn't help out
And when she was around him
There was not an ounce of self doubt
They made each other feel strong
In the heart and in the head
They each had that feeling
That without the other, they'd rather be dead
And every time they got close
The girl would build another wall
And he'd promise that he'd never hurt her
Catch her after every fall
And slowly the wall was broken down
And he could see her pain
The one which he'd never cause
So he didn't have to see her like that again
And every time he saw her cry
He held her close by his side
But every time, it changed her
Like a part of her had died
And suddenly there was nothing to love
She was all bones and no heart
There was nothing there that was familiar
Not even a single part
And so he did what he promised he wouldn't
He left her and didn't look to see the pain
But she wasn't the only one crying
Outside she could hear the rain
And she realized sad people love the rain
Because they are no longer crying alone
And with that thought in her head
She sat in the corner on her own
