He showed faces that
Made people
fear him
hate him.
An ostracized soul
That only used such facade
Because he thought he could
protect himself that way.
But, if you let her in,
Let her pick every broken shards
Of the mirror that reflected
an image of someone else,
Let her wrap you up in her arms and
Let you feel what you have been missing
From behind the curtains...
You'd know.
You'd just...know.
